Donate Blood Before Summer Ends | Charlottesville News

Summer’s here, and blood donations are in serious need—vacations, heat, and busy schedules mean fewer donors. That’s why the annual Broadcasters for Blood Drive is hitting Albemarle Square this Monday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with a patriotic twist: “Stars, Stripes and Saving Lives” to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. The goal? 250 units of blood—because one donor can save up to three lives, and trauma patients can need over 100 units. Local media and volunteers are rallying the community to give before emergencies strike. It’s a quick, powerful way to make a lasting impact.
