Even our Donor Specialists are donors! 🩸

Team member Chris rolled up his sleeves to save 3 lives — and lucky for him, his coworker Candice had his back with a perfect donor experience.

We're heading into summer with blood supplies running low, and we're asking our community to help us close the gap. Before your summer plans, come visit our team and give the gift that truly saves lives. ❤️

When Eric first wanted to donate, he assumed it wasn’t possible. For many LGBTQ+ individuals, blood donation simply wasn’t an option for decades.

After years of advocacy, research, and community voices pushing for change, updated eligibility guidelines established in 2023 opened the door for more people to give safely and inclusively.

Today, Eric donates knowing that because of donors like him, someone else will have a more time with their loved ones.

This Pride Month, we celebrate progress, advocacy, and the growing community of donors helping save lives. 🏳️‍🌈

O-negative blood is known as the universal blood type because it can be given to anyone during emergencies when there’s no time to determine a patient’s blood type. That makes every O-negative donation incredibly important.

Not sure what your blood type is? Come find out! Appointments are needed now to help keep hospital shelves stocked for patients in need ❤️

What an incredible night with Sporting Kansas City ⚽❤️

The evening was filled with energy, teamwork, and community impact as our team members connected with fans, spoke about the importance of blood donation, and celebrated the lifesaving mission we carry out every day.

Before kickoff, CBC team members Dawn and Kim spoke about our impact on local patients and the ongoing need for blood donors throughout our community. Fans also stopped by our table outside the stands to learn more about donation and how they can help save lives.

One of the most memorable moments of the night came during a special on-field presentation recognizing CBC as the Community Partner of the Game.

When our favorite Kansas City teams unite for a cause... it turns pretty unforgettable day. 🩸

From mascot chaos and donor selfies to visits from former Chiefs players Eric Hicks and Tim Barnett, the We Bleed KC blood drive brought the energy — but more importantly, it brought lifesaving donations to this community.

As KC gets ready to welcome the world this summer, this is the spirit we’re proud to show off: neighbors showing up for neighbors.

Huge thanks to all 120 donors who rolled up a sleeve, cheered our community on, and helped make this drive one for the books. Kansas City really does bleed KC. 💙❤️

Happy Memorial Day! 💙

As we gather with family and friends this holiday weekend, we’re reminded of the importance of community, compassion, and service to others.

The need for blood donations doesn’t take a holiday. Hospital patients still rely on lifesaving blood every day for emergencies, surgeries, cancer treatments, and more.

Come in to donate before May 27, and you'll go home with a free packable picnic blanket to enjoy all summer long.

Thank you to everyone who gives — today and every day. Schedule a donation at https://bit.ly/3RS8IDW ❤️
