Make a Valentine’s date to donate with Carter BloodCare
Texans who donate together save 6 lives together
Ahead of Valentine’s Day, nonprofit blood center Carter BloodCare is encouraging Texans to donate together to save lives together.
A single donation can save up to three lives; couples who donate blood can save six lives.
Carter BloodCare directors note all blood types are in demand, especially O negative. The universal blood type, O negative can help any patient, and is the only blood type used to treat premature and unborn babies.
Blood is required every day to help mothers having difficult deliveries, people injured in car wrecks, children fighting cancer, organ transplant recipients, open-heart surgery patients, and many others.
Carter BloodCare offers thank-you rewards to donors, such as e-gift cards to popular retailers, limited-edition sweatshirts and more. Donor rewards can be found on the Promotions page at CarterBloodCare.org.
