GIVE THE GIFT OF LIFE.

“Blood is a life-giver! What a glorious and generous gift.”

Madeliene Stamer designed a bandage with a message from the bottom of her heart: thank you. There’s still time to give blood this year and save lives. In fact, if you donate this month, you’ll get a limited-edition festive bandage.
