Ending 2026 on a High Note: Our Final Blood Drive of 2026

We wrapped up our final blood drive of 2026 with an incredible showing from our employees and donors!

With 29 appointments out of our goal of 30, our final American Red Cross drive resulted in 27 units of blood collected, our best collection since September 2022. That included 22 whole blood and 5 Power Red products, with the potential to help save 81 lives. We were also excited to welcome four first-time donors who rolled up their sleeves and joined the effort.

The impact goes well beyond a single drive. Throughout 2026, we hosted three blood drives, bringing together 51 unique presenting donors and collecting 60 units of blood and Power Red products. Altogether, those donations have the potential to help save 180 lives.

We’re grateful to everyone who donated, signed up, encouraged a coworker or helped make this year’s blood drives possible. Every appointment and every donation contributed to something bigger.

A special shoutout goes to Shaun Brooks II, Craig Collier, Antonio Gardner and Alex Pugh, who donated at all three of our 2026 blood drives. Thank you for showing up time and again to support patients and families in need!

As we close out another year of blood drives, we’re proud of what our team accomplished together and grateful to everyone who made an impact. Thank you for helping us end 2026 with our sleeves rolled up and our community in mind.
