Donate Blood In Honor Of Juneteenth!
Wednesday, 01 - Thursday, 30 June, 2022
From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond. Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement.
Donate blood this June in honor of Juneteenth,
and help to diversify our community’s blood supply!
Like the color of your eyes and hair, blood type is also inherited! For example, African-Americans and other minority groups may have rare blood types that are specific to their race, ethnicity or genetic background. The best blood type match for patients with rare blood types often comes from donors of a similar race or ethnicity. By diversifying the blood supply, we can instill hope and save more lives!
