Double Your Donation: September to Honor Childhood Cancer, Sickle Cell Disease Awareness w/ The Blood Connection
Sep 23 @ 7:00 am – 6:45 pm
The Blood Connection-Asheville

Those who donate with The Blood Connection, the non-profit community blood center, are directly impacting the lives of people in this community; people like children battling cancer, or a neighbor suffering from Sickle Cell Disease.  Those people rely on community blood donors every day to ensure lifesaving blood products needed for treatments are available in local hospitals.  That is why TBC is partnering with local and national organizations to shed light on Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Sickle Cell Awareness Month.

 

Both causes have a close tie to blood centers, as blood products are vital for the treatment and management of these diseases.  TBC’s September campaign will give community members an opportunity to double their donation by donating blood to the community and donating their reward points to organizations that support childhood cancer and sickle cell patients.

TBC is also looking for organizations, companies, and groups to host blood drives to benefit these causes.
Blood drive coordinators can pick local chapters and organizations, and TBC will make a monetary donation
per donor. To speak with a TBC representative about hosting a blood drive in September, go to
thebloodconnection.org/host and fill out the form.

TBC to Reward Donors with Bonus $50 eGift Card Through September

While TBC and hospital partners can plan for typical blood usage and planned surgeries, no one knows when an emergency may arise that requires a high volume of blood in a short amount of time.  The national Blood Emergency Readiness Corps was formed to combat that issue – a network of blood centers that reserves several units of blood products every week to ensure they are available should a mass-casualty or mass-injury event occur. TBC is “on-call” for the BERC from September 26 to October 6, further demonstrating the importance that community blood donors step up to donate blood now.

 

One blood donation has the power to save up to three lives.  Just 45 minutes to an hour of a blood donor’s day could mean a lifetime to neighbors in need in local hospitals.  As a community blood center and blood supplier to more than 100 hospitals across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, blood donors with TBC can feel confident that their blood donations are going directly to their community.

 

As a thank you to blood donors who answer the call, all blood donors with TBC between now and September 30 will receive a bonus $50 eGift card (2,000 bonus reward points).  Bonus points take 24-48 hours to be uploaded to donor accounts. To find a center or mobile blood drive location, go to thebloodconnection.org/donate.

Investing in a Native Pollinator Plant Bank…

With so many Bee City Pollenteers excited to donate plants, pollinator superhero and Bee City USA-Asheville Leadership Committee member Bryan Tompkin joined the hunt for an affordable hoop house, for soil and supplies, and for funds to support the native plant bank.

 

That’s what we love about this community—it is full of creative, resourceful people like Tallis, Bryan, and all our Bee City Pollenteers who are taking action to create a resilient future for themselves, their community, and the native pollinators we rely on.

 

We don’t accept an “oh well, there’s nothing I can do” future by default.

Forget that.

We’re here for the best-case scenario.

And to make that happen, we’re taking action to build the future Asheville we want to live in.

 

If the best-case scenario is something you want for yourself and your family, we’d love to see you add your support by making a donation.

 

Your gift today will go toward installing a native pollinator plant hoop house and buying supplies to feed the plants that feed the pollinators that run our local food ecosystem.

If you’d like to donate extra native plants from your garden, reach out to us at [email protected] or drop them off during an upcoming nursery workday, Tuesdays 10am-12pm, at our Sand Hill Tree Nursery, 24 Apac Dr. Asheville, NC 28806
