Help patients with sickle cell disease by giving blood

When patients living with sickle cell disease face a sickle cell crisis, blood transfusions can make a lifesaving difference. That’s why the American Red Cross seeks to grow the number of blood donors who are Black to help patients with sickle cell disease, the most common inherited blood disorder in the U.S. Local donors can join this effort by giving blood at scheduled drives in Massachusetts and at the drives listed below.

To register to donate, visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter the drive’s zip code into ‘Find a Blood Drive’ at the top left of the page.
