As a blood donor, you’re saving lives in your community — that makes you a hero in our book! We LOVE a hero around here, which is why Our Blood Institute has long engaged in military and governmental partnerships, from blood drives at local military bases to supplying emergency aid during some of the darkest days in American history.
Here are some of the many ways we've proudly worked to protect our communities and the brave people who serve them.
Military Base Blood Drives
Our military bases within the OBI network regularly organize blood donation drives and encourage service members, their families, and civilian employees to donate blood. OBI’s partnership with our military has resulted in 1,537 blood drives, 52,022 procedures and close to 40,000 new donors! The lives saved are remarkable, with over 156,000 lives saved in the last five years alone.
