Double Your Impact!

Double Red Cell donations let you give more of what’s needed most by transfusion patients. Double Red Cell donations are similar to whole blood, except a single machine gives you the ability to safely donate two units of red blood cells during one sitting, while returning your plasma and platelets to you. Our Make Mine A Double Club rewards donors who make the commitment to donate Double Red Cells three times throughout the calendar year with an exclusive, Make Mine A Double T-shirt.

Universal O-Neg Heroes Club

While only 6.6% of the population has O Negative blood, 100% of the population can receive it. This is why O Negative blood is considered the “Universal Blood Type,” meaning it can be transfused to anybody in need regardless of their blood type. This is important in emergencies when hospitals don’t have time to determine the patient’s blood type. It is also why O Negative blood is always in short supply. Join our Universal (O Neg) Heroes Club and receive a FREE Exclusive Universal (O Neg) Heroes Club t-shirt when you meet the annual requirements. For more information, click here.

Platelet Weekend Warrior Club

Hospitals tend to schedule surgeries or treatments requiring platelets on Mondays & Tuesdays. Since platelets only have a shelf life of five days, platelets that are donated on Saturdays & Sundays are used early in the week. In addition, less people tend to donate during the weekends, creating a potential shortage on those days. Learn about our Platelet Weekend Warrior Club, which rewards donors who make the commitment to donate platelets at least 12 weekends throughout the calendar year. To learn more, click here.

Thank the Donor®

Thank the Donor® (TtD) is a program which allows blood donors and transfusion recipients to anonymously connect, enabling the recipient to thank the donor for their lifesaving generosity via email. Our TtD program is now live with Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center, Geisinger Cancer Center, Reading Hospital/Tower Health, and the St. Luke’s University Health System.   For details on how the Thank the Donor® program works, click here.

Celebrate Hope

Our Celebrate Hope program works to unite some of our transfusion recipients with the blood donors who helped save their lives!
