We're inviting first-time and returning donors to make a difference this summer—and we're making it fun.

Beth Ades Webster City, Iowa

"Without donors’ generous contributions, my story might have had a different outcome. Their altruism highlights the potential for anyone to be a hero in someone else’s life."

Naomi Musal Ames, Iowa

"I continue to donate blood because as I understand, blood cannot be produced. No matter how much money, it is something that has to be given. It is the right thing to do."

Eric Muller Urbandale, Iowa

"Giving blood is one way I can give back."

Jacqueline Brock West Des Moines, Iowa

"If it wasn’t for those who donate blood, I would not be here today for my husband and family. Most importantly I would not be a mother to my beautiful miracle, Eloise. I encourage you to try to donate, as donating blood can save a life like mine."

Mikaela Stagnone West Des Moines, Iowa

"If it wasn't for the generous people who donate blood, I wouldn't be here today with my husband to help raise our 2 children or follow my dreams I had worked so hard towards. They not only saved my life that day, but my entire families life as we knew it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

Susan Moore Des Moines, Iowa

"It’s important to me to help others and donating blood is a great way to do that."

Brooke Bestell's Son Garwin, Iowa

"It’s surreal being on the receiving end of something I’ve previously only given. But seeing my toddler benefit from a stranger’s generosity is humbling."

Randy Carney Adair, Iowa

"I have given blood since high school and still donate because there is a huge need for it and if I can help, I am going to continue as long as I can."
