Vitalant Seeks Blood Donors to Help Transplant Patients During National Donate Life Month in April

Every two seconds, a patient in the U.S. needs blood. During National Donate Life Month in April, nonprofit Vitalant urges eligible donors to give blood and help support patients including those who undergo more than 40,000 organ transplants each year.  A robust blood supply must be ready for patients every day before it’s needed. Donors of every blood type are vital to maintaining the supply, especially those with the most-transfused type O.  

To make a blood donation appointment, visit vitalant.org, download the Vitalant app, or call 877-25-VITAL (877-258-4825)

Blood donors help people like Amanda, who is alive today because of 112 red blood cell, platelet and plasma transfusions.  Amanda was diagnosed with a rare genetic liver condition known as Wilson’s Disease when she was in a senior at an Arizona high school.  When her liver completely shut down, doctors saved her life with an immediate transplant and blood transfusions.  Thanks to the blood donors, graduated, got married and is now a proud mother of three daughters. “Blood donors gave me the gift of life,” Amanda said.  “Their generosity will always be a part of who I am.  As a matter of fact, they inspired me to become a nurse.”

As special thanks, all donors who give with Vitalant April 1 – 20 who opt-in to the Donor Rewards program will be entered into a drawing for 20 winners of $420 gift cards in the Blaze a Trail giveaway.
