Blood Isn’t Just For Horror Movies. It Saves Lives.

It’s a scary thought – blood may not be on the shelves when patients need it the most. When only 3% of Americans donate blood each year, every donation counts. Schedule your next blood, platelet or plasma donation appointment today and help prevent a summer shortage.

Through a new campaign with actress Neve Campbell, we’re showcasing cliched ways blood is spilled in movies, and asking: When was the last time you donated blood? Even though artificial blood is used in horror movies, in real life, there’s no substitute. Scary film scenes can show a lot of spilled blood (what a waste). Donate blood to save lives instead.

To show our thanks, we’re giving all those who come to give blood, platelets or plasma Oct. 1-15, 2022, a $5 e-gift card to a merchant of choice, or come to give Oct. 16-31 for a $10 e-gift card.^ Enjoy some buttery popcorn or a refreshing drink with your next jump scare, on us.
