Imagine, for just 2 seconds, that your life hangs in the balance and the only people that can save you from certain death, are complete strangers.

I do not have to imagine it, I live it - everyday. Instead of being a victim of a rare blood disorder or the survivor of a near death experience, I choose to be a LIVING TESTIMONY of the need for blood donors. As an advocate and spokesperson working with the nation's two largest blood collection organizations, I hope to connect donors to the lives they save through education, encouragement and open communication. Together, we can save lives, one pint at a time.


Every 2 seconds, someone requires a blood transfusion to live.

That's why "It's Hip 2 Give!"

Summer Blood Challenge!

Sponsored by the Blood Bank of Delmarva

Between May 26 and September 5, local companies will compete in the 7th annual Summer Blood Challenge (SBC) to recruit the most new Blood Bank members and blood donors. The SBC was designed to raise awareness of the importance of blood donations, especially during the critical summer months when fewer people typically give blood.

Companies, churches and schools account for nearly 1/2 of all donations received at blood banks. The generous donations by these organizations is well appreciated and greatly needed.



If you are in the Delmarva area and would like to participate, please visit www.bbd.org for more information. Join us for Happy Hour on May 26 to get the challenge started!
