Blood Donation Drive

In partnership with the American Red Cross, we invite you to our life‑saving blood drive. Click this to schedule your donation today. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Unfortunately, sickle cell disease is the most common genetic blood disorder in the U.S., affecting around 100,000 people. Just a single patient can require up to 100 pints of blood each year to manage complications.

Visit https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=femi to schedule your donation. THANK YOU!
