National Blood Donor Month has taken place each January since 1970. The campaign was created to inspire donors to continue to give during the harsh winter months and to celebrate current donors. Unfortunately, only three percent of the eligible population currently donates blood.

Our Blood Institute is asking everyone to make giving blood part of their New Year’s resolution.
