2026 Local Hero Promotion

In 2026, we are celebrating the donors who keep care local. During each promotion period, every donor who gives is automatically entered to win a 100 dollar gift card. At the end of each period, we will randomly select seven Local Heroes, one from each of our service communities. These winners help protect patients in their own backyard and keep lifesaving blood close to home.

We will also invite each winner to be featured on our blog and social media. Participation is completely optional, but we love sharing the stories of the people who make local healthcare possible.
