The American Red Cross (ARC) and American Cancer Society (ACS) are two of the most recognized non-profit organizations in the country. We’ve teamed-up to help support patients with cancer. Our goal is to help educate people on the importance of blood donation for cancer patients, and to also make them aware of other ways they can help support both organizations.
Nearly everyone has known someone whose life has been affected directly or indirectly by cancer. In fact, did you know that every minute three new people are diagnosed with cancer? What’s more is those people and millions of others fighting cancer will need life-saving blood transfusions. Our hope by partnering is to collectively reach more people that can donate blood to help cancer patients who desperately need these lifesaving blood donations.
Make a blood or platelet donation with the American Red Cross to help those fighting and surviving cancer.
Make a financial gift to the American Cancer Society to support lifesaving research, education and care.
Make a financial gift to Red Cross Biomedical Services to help ensure that life-saving blood will be available when it is needed.
Approximately 38.4% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes.
People with cancer may develop low platelets when the body’s bone marrow is damaged from cancer.
Replenishing blood lost from an injury, illness or chemotherapy requires blood from healthy donors.
