Raising awareness about blood donation is important, because a single donation can save lives. Per America’s Blood Centers, the national organization bringing together community-based, independent blood centers, only three (3) percent of the U.S. population donates blood annually, and a blood transfusion occurs every two seconds. The American Red Cross recognizes that winter months are an especially difficult time of year for blood collection, due to busy holiday schedules, inclement weather, and seasonal illnesses.
