Ongoing Donor Appreciation Gifts


Did you know?

  • Every day in the United States, blood is needed in hospitals and emergency treatment facilities to care for patients with cancer and other diseases, for organ transplant recipients and to help save the lives of accident and trauma victims
  • Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood.
  • More than 38,000 blood donations are needed each day.
  • Just one blood donation can help save up to three lives.
  • Sixty percent of the US population is eligible to give, but only 5 percent of those eligible actually do.

We need YOU!
We need your BLOOD! Donating Blood is EASY! It only takes about an hour and when you are finished, you will know that you have helped to save a patient's life. It's that simple and that important.

All eligible donors, along with the regular movie ticket, and for employees, Blood Time, will receive a one-of-a-kind UCLA Blood & Platelet Center lanyard for the gift of life, while supplies last.

The UCLA Blood & Platelet Center Blood Mobile is coming to campus! Keep your eyes open for the Blood Mobile this month and you'll have a chance to donate while on the go!

Donate Blood. Save A Life. Be A Hero.
