Season of Giving thanks donors for saving lives

Blood donors can enter to win multiple prizes just in time for the holidays

The Season of Giving is underway and blood donors have a chance to give – and win – some of this year’s hottest gifts, including a Dyson Airwrap, iPhone14, 3D printer and much more.

To be entered in the Season of Giving sweepstakes for a shot at multiple prizes, donors must give blood now through Dec. 15, post a selfie with the hashtag #SantasBloodDonors on social media, and complete the entry form at SouthTexasBlood.org/Give.

The Season of Giving comes at a time when the community blood supply struggles to maintain at least a three-day supply and even less for the O blood supply.

Type O blood is the most-needed blood type. While all blood types are important, the demand is especially high for O-negative donors as they make up just 8% of the population, but O-negative blood can be transfused to any patient in emergency situations. This is important as every 2 seconds a patient in this country needs a blood transfusion.

Donors will continue to receive the “Don’t Be a Grinch” T-shirt, while supplies last. Community members are invited to become blood donors by making an appointment to donate at one of our nine donor centers or at a community blood drive. To schedule, visit SouthTexasBlood.org or call 210-731-5590.
