The Alberta Abbey will partner with the American Red Cross to hold a blood drive to benefit people living with Sickle Cell Anemia. Most of whom are African-American. Patients suffering from this disease often require frequent blood transfusions with closely matched red blood cell antigens. Due to the variety of inherited red blood cell antigens, the most compatible blood donations come from African-American donors.

Your blood can save lives. We’d like to thank all donors at this blood drive for coming to give blood to help meet the urgent need for blood in the Black community.

While this drive is intended to increase donations from African Americans in Portland, it is OPEN TO ALL DONORS. All participants will receive a $15 Amazon Gift for donating plus a chance to win $7,000. (Learn more here.)

Streamline your donation experience and save up to 15 minutes by visiting RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass to complete your pre-donation reading and health history questions on the day of your appointment.
