Platelets are essential for patients. They help blood clot, prevent dangerous bleeding, and often mean the difference between crisis and recovery.
But there’s a challenge: platelets have a shelf life of only 5–7 days, so we rely on dedicated donors to keep our supply strong.

When Colbert needed four units of lifesaving blood, he and Estrella felt the power of donors firsthand. Now, they come and give back by donating themselves. 💙

Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves (or shark fins) to help save lives. The need for blood doesn’t take a holiday, and that’s why giving during times like #Halloween is so important.
