TOP 10 REASONS
to be a BLOOD DONOR

  1. It saves lives. You can save up to three lives by donating blood.
  2. There is no substitute for human blood.
  3. Blood donation is important because maintaining an adequate blood supply in our community secures blood transfusions for patients. Your blood stays in the community’s hospitals, helping local patients.
  4. In Florida you can start donating at age 16, there is no age limit for giving blood if you are healthy.
  5. You or someone you know may need blood someday. When you donate blood, you do not just save a life you save a family.
  6. When you donate blood, you receive a free health wellness check. 
  7. Donating blood takes less than an hour.
  8. Donating blood is a completely safe process.
  9. Only 3% of the U.S population donates blood. What happens if that number keeps going down? There would be no blood to give to those in need of it.
  10.  Up to 50% of blood products go to cancer patients.
