Santa Needs Your Help!
Santa Needs Your Help!
Here’s a holiday fact you may not have heard: Santa’s sleigh isn’t powered by gas, batteries, or any fancy new tech. It runs on Holiday Spirit — a one-of-a-kind fuel that appears when people come together to give, share, and care for one another.
This year, Santa has invited Gulf Coast Blood donors to join his official North Pole Team. Every act of giving sends a burst of magic to the Holiday Spirit Meter, helping Santa’s sleigh rise higher for takeoff on Christmas Eve.
Three Ways to Boost the Meter
Donate Blood
Give the gift that saves lives. Every donation sends a spark of magic to the Holiday Spirit Meter and helps patients spending the holidays in the hospital.
Your single donation can help multiple patients — and gives Santa’s sleigh a powerful boost.
Share Holiday Hugs
When you come in to donate blood through December 15, you can write a note of encouragement for someone in the hospital, and we’ll provide a teddy bear to go along with it.
Your message and bear will be delivered with care, wrapping patients in a little extra warmth this season.
Support BEAR
Drop off a new gift at any Donor Center from Nov 1–Dec 15, to support at-risk and CPS-involved children in our community.
Your generosity helps make the season brighter for children who need it most — and sends even more Holiday Spirit to the Meter.
