Meet father–daughter donor duo Mark and Saoirse — back in the donor center to save lives together. ❤️

Meet best friends and lifesavers Debbie, Lisa, and Kate! Every 56 days, these three turn donating blood into their version of a girls’ day out.

When asked why they donate together, Kate put it best: “We're here for the cookies!” 🍪

"...I got bitten by the blood donation bug. I’m doing an altruistic donation (in) mid-December. I’m so excited to do it."

We’re inspired by actor Jesse Eisenberg, who recently shared his plans to donate a kidney to a stranger in need.

The "Now You See Me: Now You Don't" star shared the news of his upcoming altruistic kidney donation on TODAY.

At just 16, Jayden is already on his 5th platelet donation—following in his mom Katrina’s footsteps. A true donor, he was recently inspired to grow his hair out to make wigs for kids with cancer. From hair to platelets, Jayden proves generosity has no age limit. ❤️

The new school year is in full swing and we couldn't be more grateful for the hundreds of students who have already come out to donate!

Did you know that high school and college donors account for roughly 20% of all donations nationwide? We think that's a green flag! 💚 🦸 🩸

Your financial contributions make stories like Julia’s possible. Born with a blood disorder called Beta Thalassemia Major, Julia survived thanks to hundreds of blood and financial donors. You can help create more stories like hers: http://bit.ly/3KQOQxH

Patients in your area need you now and they can't wait. Did you know a liver transplant can require as many as 100 units of blood? Right now, we are supplying hospitals performing these transplants.

Roll up your sleeve & make a lifesaving impact now: donate.savealifenow.org 🩸

Green flags all around 💚 Our high school heroes found time between classes to roll up their sleeves—and just their one donation can save up to 3 lives! That’s what we call A+ work!

Drop a heart or a like in the comments for these young lifesavers! 📝

The urgent need continues and our blood supply is dangerously low.
