Donor recognition
Celebrating donor milestones.
Every donation makes a difference, and every gallon represents an incredible commitment to saving lives in our community.
To celebrate our dedicated blood donors, we recognize donation milestones with special gifts and acknowledgments along the way.

What you earn at every gallon.
Eight whole blood donations is about a gallon. You never have to count — our donor records track it, and each new level comes with its own gift and acknowledgment.

Each time you reach a new gallon milestone, your lifesaving commitment will also be recognized in the North Coast Journal.
Whether you’re reaching your first gallon or your thirtieth, every milestone represents people helped, families supported, and lives that may have been changed because you chose to donate.
Keep giving. Keep saving lives.
