keep life-saving blood on the move
For the past 75 years, the dedicated financial donors of San Diego Blood Bank (SDBB) have been instrumental in saving the lives of tens of thousands of patients across Southern California. We would not have reached this remarkable anniversary milestone without you! Allow me to extend SDBB’s deepest gratitude.
Your continued support will enable us to acquire two new vans, enhancing our transportation capabilities and ensuring the efficient delivery of life-saving products to patients in need. Long-time blood donor and financial supporter, Rebecca Blakely Bashforth, will generously match $3,000 for our new vehicles. Double your impact today and support our Vehicle Campaign with your valuable gift.
Each blood donation or financial gift creates a lifeline between a donor and a patient through an act of generosity. Please consider making a gift today to help sustain our mission for another 75 years.
