This month, we’re shining a light on the power of community and the impact you can make by donating blood. Many men fighting prostate cancer rely on blood transfusions during their treatment.

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible team behind every donation: our Blood Collection Specialists. From donor centers to mobile drives, they save lives daily with their skill and dedication.

We’re back for the 5th year of Music’s In Our Blood! Together, we’re turning up the volume and riding the current to reach our biggest goal yet: 10,000 new and returning donors by the end of the year. Every donation helps keep the rhythm of life flowing for patients across our region. This campaign brings our community together through music, connection, and lifesaving impact. From local artists and businesses to unforgettable events, there are so many ways to get involved. Learn more and see what’s happening at https://lnkd.in/gpyjJQQ9. #BloodworksNW #DonateBlood #MIOB

We shipped 10 units of platelets to support Minnesota hospitals yesterday in the wake of the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church. We mourn with the people of Minneapolis over this horrific tragedy. As part of the Blood Emergency Readiness Corp (BERC), Bloodworks and other community blood centers are on standby this week to ensure no patient goes without lifesaving blood. We were able to respond immediately because of the many donors who came forward when our local supply fell low this month. Thank you to our generous community of donors for sharing this commitment to maintaining a healthy blood and platelet supply for our local community and beyond. #BloodworksNW #GiveBlood #BloodSupply #Community

Over the past few months, the GIVE BLOOD.

Thank you to our amazing partners for helping share this message and highlighting how vital blood donation is in our community. #BloodworksNW #RAH #DonateBlood #Pets
