Fangs Just Wanna Have Fun

This fall, roll up your sleeve and embrace the spirit of spooky season with Our Blood Institute. Inspired by everyone's favorite creatures of the night, our latest donor promotion is a fun reminder of a lifesaving truth: all we need is blood.

From September 1 through October 31, all successful blood donors will receive a limited-edition All You Need Is Blood T-shirt while supplies last.

But don't stop there...

Psst... There's a secret menu.

The Fang Club knows the best surprises aren't advertised. Ask to see what's hiding in the shadows and unlock twice the T-shirt options available this season. Additional exclusive designs are available while supplies last, but only for those who know to ask.

While the campaign is all in good fun, the need for blood is very real. Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs a blood transfusion. Blood donors help ensure blood is available for patients receiving cancer treatments, recovering from traumatic injuries, undergoing surgery and facing countless other medical emergencies.

Schedule your appointment today and help keep blood on hospital shelves this spooky season.
