This August, your blood donation can make a lifesaving difference in our community, and comes with a sweet reward. All donors who give blood between August 1–31, 2026 will receive a free pint of Blue Bell ice cream as a thank-you for supporting patients in need.
Every donation helps provide critical care for individuals facing surgeries, cancer treatments, trauma, and chronic illnesses. Whether you’re a first-time donor or a regular, your impact matters more than ever.
While supplies last. Promotional item may be substituted for an item of equal value.
