Our board hard at work saving lives!

🩸Each blood donation can save up to 3 lives
🩸Blood cannot be manufactured outside of the human body so when a person needs blood, their only hope is from a donor
🩸Every 2 seconds, someone out there will require blood
🩸>25% of OneBlood’s supply goes to cancer patients
🩸1 out of 83 childbirths requires a transfusion
🩸Blood transfusions are the second most common procedure in hospitals, yet only 3% of those eligible to donate blood actually donate blood.

The Gator Nation is joining forces with to make an impact and we want you to be a part of it!
