Sickle Cell Awareness Blood Drive

🩸 33 UNITS. ONE COMMUNITY.
The Urban League Guild of Greater Madison invites you to join us for a Sickle Cell Awareness Blood Drive and help us reach our goal of collecting at least 33 units of blood.
For people living with sickle cell disease, blood transfusions can be an essential part of treatment. Finding the right match can be especially challenging because blood compatibility goes far beyond blood type. According to the American Red Cross, 1 in 3 Black blood donors is a match for people with sickle cell disease.
That's why we're making a special call to Madison's Black and African American community to give blood and help close the gap between the blood that's needed and the blood that's available for sickle cell warriors.
But everyone is encouraged to give! Every eligible donor can help save lives and move us closer to our community goal of 33 units.
📅 Saturday, November 14
⏰ 9:00 a.m.–1:45 p.m.
📍 The Urban League Hub | 2252 S. Park Street
The Guild is bringing together the Urban League of Greater Madison, ULGM Young Professionals, American Red Cross and other community partners for this special day of giving.
🎁 A little extra thanks for giving!
Donors who come to give will receive:
✅ $30 in Gift Cards by email thanks to Amazon
✅ Free A1C screening, which can help identify signs of prediabetes or diabetes
✅ A Sickle Cell Fighter T-shirt
🏆 And Badger fans can help Wisconsin defend its Big Ten blood donation title! Donors can log their donation for Wisconsin as part of the Abbott and Big Ten We Give Blood competition. The winning school will receive $1 million to support student and community health. Wisconsin won last year's competition, so let's help the Badgers do it again!
Appointments are strongly encouraged. Walk-ins are welcome.
