When emergencies strike, every second counts — and having the right tools and training can mean the difference between life and death. At Gulf Coast Blood, our mission has always been about saving lives through blood donation. But we're also committed to preparing our community to act during critical moments, which is why we’re proud to be a part of the national Stop the Bleed campaign.
A Celebration of Life: Honoring the Heroes of Our Community
A Celebration of Life is an annual event that shines a spotlight on the extraordinary individuals and groups who go above and beyond to support our community. These lifesavers play a vital role in ensuring a steady and healthy blood supply, and their unwavering dedication is crucial for saving lives. The event offers an opportunity to recognize and thank them for their continuous efforts.
