Gulf Coast Blood is proud to partner with BEAR (BE A Resource) to bring a sense of comfort, connection, and holiday cheer to patients who are spending the season in local hospitals.
Share the Gift of Hope This Holiday Season
One season. Two ways to give. Countless reasons to smile.
This holiday season, Gulf Coast Blood invites you to spread hope and joy through two meaningful traditions: Holiday Hugs and BEARing Gifts.
Holiday Hugs: Give Blood. Share Comfort.
Make your blood donation even more meaningful! When you donate, write a heartfelt holiday message to accompany a teddy bear delivered to a patient spending the holidays in the hospital. Your generosity can help save lives and bring comfort to patients across our community.
BEARing Gifts: Make a Child's Holiday Brighter
Gulf Coast Blood is proud to partner with BEAR (BE A Resource) to help fulfill holiday wishes for more than 23,000 at-risk children in the care of Child Protective Services (CPS).
You can participate by:
-
Dropping off a brand-new, unwrapped gift for a child ages newborn through 19 at any Gulf Coast Blood Donor Center.
-
Purchasing a gift through BEAR's Amazon Wishlist.
-
Making a monetary donation to BEAR.
Blood Donors Made Lillie's Story Possible
Lillie was diagnosed at just four years old with hereditary spherocytosis, a rare form of anemia that causes red blood cells to break down faster than normal. Blood transfusions became essential to keeping her stable. When parvovirus stopped her bone marrow from producing new blood cells, she needed six units of blood to survive. With each blood transfusion, her color, energy, and laughter returned.
Today, Lillie is thriving. She enjoys crocheting with her grandmother, playing soccer, practicing aerial yoga, and participating in Junior Girl Scouts. Her experience has inspired people throughout her community to donate blood in her honor.
Your next blood donation could help someone like Lillie keep doing what they love.
