Celebrating National Blood Donor Month
January is National Blood Donor Month—a time to celebrate the lifesaving contributions of blood donors and encourage more people to roll up their sleeves and give. This annual event has been observed since 1970, established to honor the generosity of donors and address the critical need for blood donations during the winter months. As the new year begins, join ImpactLife in making 2025 a year of giving by becoming a Donor for Life and supporting our Partner for Life movement.
Why National Blood Donor Month Matters
Blood donation saves millions of lives each year, providing vital support for surgeries, cancer treatments, and emergency care. National Blood Donor Month raises awareness about the ongoing need for blood, especially during winter when supplies often dwindle due to holiday schedules, inclement weather, and seasonal illnesses. Your donation ensures that hospitals and patients receive the lifesaving resources they need.
