Red, White & True: Celebrate America 250 by Giving Blood

Stars, stripes and summer are here, and this is your chance to be part of something bigger. Our Blood Institute is celebrating America’s 250th anniversary with Red, White & True, inviting you to roll up your sleeve and show what it means to stand strong together.

From June 1 through July 31, all successful blood donors will receive a limited-edition Red, White & True T-shirt. As a thank you, donors will also receive a free ticket to the theme park of their choice: Frontier City, Hurricane Harbor or Magic Springs Theme and Water Park.

This summer is full of celebrations, travel and time off, but the need for blood never takes a break. When you donate, you help ensure hospitals have the blood they need for trauma care, cancer treatments, surgeries and emergencies across our communities.

About the Shirt

    The Red, White & True T-shirt celebrates what it means to show up for others. With a custom America 250 Our Blood Institute logo on the front and the Statue of Liberty on the back, this limited-edition design is inspired by the strength and unity that define our country.

    Look closely and you’ll see a meaningful detail: Lady Liberty’s arm is wrapped in Coban, a nod to blood donation and the people who step up to give.

    It’s a thank you to the donors who make a difference every day. Wear it as a reminder that when you give, you’re part of something bigger.

    Available June 1 through July 31, while supplies last.
