366 pints collected. 366 media stories generated. One powerful Divine Nine impact. ❤️🩸
To our Fraters, Sorors, and the entire Divine Nine Family—thank you for your extraordinary support of the American Red Cross “Give Back, By Giving Blood” campaign.
Together, we exceeded our goal of 300 pints and collected an incredible 366 pints of blood. Our collective efforts also generated 366 media stories, reaching 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, 21 national outlets, and audiences in 15 countries.
Sickle cell disease disproportionately impacts the African American community, and many patients depend on regular blood transfusions. By giving blood, raising awareness, and mobilizing our communities, the Divine Nine helped strengthen the lifesaving blood supply, advance health equity, and bring hope to individuals and families fighting sickle cell disease.
This is the power of unity, service, and purpose. Thank you for helping us shine the light and save lives.
