Summer is meant to be enjoyed. It’s the season we get outside and soak up every hour of daylight – it’s also a great season to give blood. Blood donations drop during the busy days of summer, but people in our community still face serious medical needs. Your generosity can be the reason a mom watches 4th of July fireworks with her kids, a grandmother makes her famous salad for a family reunion, or a child gets back to riding bikes with their friends.
