Thank the Donor®

Thank the Donor® is a free and simple web-enabled service that allows blood product recipients to send messages of gratitude anonymously to their donors.

Thank the Donor® messages show the impact that blood donation has on a life. Whether celebrating another birthday, ringing the cancer-free bell or welcoming a new life into the world, these treasured moments wouldn’t be possible without blood donors.
