In honor of National Doctors’ Day, The Blood Connection (TBC) is donating five dollars to Doctors Without Borders USA for every blood donation given on Tuesday, March 30th at a TBC center or blood mobile. Donors will also receive a $20 gift card (e-gift card at centers) as a thank you. TBC is doing this promotion to recognize the relentless work of local doctors and nurses. Especially in a year marked by a worldwide pandemic, their dedication to the community has been instrumental to our healing. As noted in the facts below, almost 293,000 blood products were sent to local hospitals in 2020 to help patients who rely on blood donations. On the other side of every one of those units sent is a doctor who administered that treatment, ultimately affecting the patient’s family, friends, coworkers, etc.
