OneBlood and ISF Team up to Save Lives This Summer
Written by OneBlood, ISF Sustaining Sponsor
Every year during the last week of June, OneBlood and ISF team up for the Isabella Santos Memorial Blood Drive. This year will make nine years since our beloved warrior, Isabella, passed away. Donors can honor her legacy and help support the thousands who are currently fighting cancer by donating blood or platelets from June 25 – June 28. Click here for details.
As an Isabella Santos Foundation sustaining partner, we look forward to teaming up and hosting blood drives together every year. When you donate blood or platelets at an ISF blood drive, OneBlood makes a $10 contribution to the Isabella Santos Foundation.
Donations help the Isabella Santos Foundation invest in pediatric cancer research, improve pediatric cancer trials and studies, and support families affected by cancer. Ultimately, allowing Isabella’s three wishes to come true: BEAT Cancer, GROW Hair, and LIVE Her Dreams.
Blood and platelet donations are also critical in the fight against cancer. Many Pediatric Cancer treatments are aggressive and require patients to receive many blood or platelet transfusions to help with recovery. When you donate blood, you can save up to three lives, and one of those lives could be a child who is battling cancer.
- There are no substitutes for blood. It can’t be manufactured or produced in a laboratory. It has to be given by a person as an act of profound kindness, thus lifting their own spirit.
- When you donate, you are paying it forward for yourself, your family and your neighbors in need. One of the greatest benefits of being a blood donor is the knowledge that you are making a vital difference in the lives of others when you share your good health.
- Every time a donor offers to share their ‘Gift of Life’ they receive a wellness check-up of blood pressure, pulse, temperature, iron count and, after donation, a cholesterol screening. Many prospective donors discovered for the first time they had high blood pressure, low iron or heart arrhythmia during this health screening and then sought medical care.
