September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month. 🩸

Approximately 100,000 Americans live with sickle cell disease, a rare chronic condition that causes the red blood cells to harden and form a sickle shape. This sickling causes severe and unpredictable pain, intense fatigue, frequent infections, and more.

We are proud to stand with the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, Inc., this month and push for better treatments, education and outcomes for sickle cell warriors.

Regular transfusions can be lifesaving for patients with sickle cell disease. Blood donation helps patients by providing healthy red blood cells that can improve oxygen delivery and reduce complications caused by severe anemia.

If you’re brave enough to get a tattoo, you’re brave enough to roll up your sleeve and donate blood. 👀🩸

You’ve already faced the needle for the ink—now face it for a lifesaving cause! While tattoo needles and blood donation needles have very different jobs, they both require you to sit still for a little while. 😉

Your tattoo might be a way to express yourself, but donating blood is a way to show up for someone else. ❤️ Roll up your sleeve and help save local lives with LifeShare!

Some voices are meant to inspire change. ❤️

Brittany McKelvey, Mrs. Louisiana American 2026, knows firsthand the impact that cancer can have. After losing her voice at just 13 while battling thyroid cancer, Brittany turned her experience into a mission of hope through Speak Hope, her platform focused on cancer education, advocacy, and support.

Today, she uses her voice to encourage others to make a difference by donating blood—and she leads by example as a regular blood donor herself. 🩸

We’re so grateful for Brittany’s commitment to giving back and reminding us that every donation can be a powerful act of hope. Join Brittany and give blood, give hope, and save lives. 💙

Turn “How do I donate?” into “I’m going to go donate.” 🩸

Sometimes the hardest part of donating is simply getting started. So we’re making it easy! From finding a donation location and scheduling your appointment to prepping for your donation and using Donor Pass, we’ve got you covered.

Swipe through for everything you need to go from thinking about donating to actually showing up to save local lives. ❤️

Because patients don’t need us to just say, “I’ll donate someday.”
They need us to say, “I’m going to donate today.”

🩸 You showed up when we needed you most! ❤️

Because of donors like you, we’ve been able to move our blood supply in the right direction. But we still need you.

Two weeks ago, a national blood crisis was declared. You answered our call and, because of you, we made it through that critical moment. But the need for blood remains urgent.

On Monday alone we had 8 heart surgeries scheduled at the hospitals we serve, and a single surgery can require up to 20 units of blood. LifeShare aims to collect 450 units every day to maintain the needs of our local hospitals.

Please donate during the next two weeks if you are eligible. All blood types are needed, with the most urgent need for types O+, A-, and B-, and your donation can help keep our community from slipping back into crisis. ❤️
