Go For the Gold

You don't have to be a superhero to save lives...

You just have to roll up your sleeve! Each time you donate whole blood you can save up to three lives! By becoming a regular donor (every two months), you can donate up to six times a year and help save up to 18 local patients! It's just a small amount of your time that can mean a lifetime to so many!

Go for The Gold is TBC's exclusive donor recognition program that rewards you for making multiple donations in a calendar year (January 1 to December 31)!
