DONATE LIFE MONTH
During National Donate Life Month in April, we honor the people who have given the gift of life through organ, eye and tissue donation. We also celebrate the lives that have been saved and healed because of a donor’s generosity.
This year’s theme uses trees as a symbol of life and connection. Just like trees grow and support each other in a forest, donation connects people – donors, recipients, and their families. Like a tree that grows and stands for generations, a donor’s gift leaves a lasting legacy of hope and life.

DON SAX MEMORIAL DRIVE
We were honored to welcome Belleville-area neighbors to our blood drive last Saturday at St. Teresa Catholic in memory of Don Sax. This annual memorial drive brings our community together to celebrate Don’s legacy of generosity, and it’s always inspiring to see so many familiar and new faces come out to donate the gift of life.
As part of St. Teresa Catholic Church's centennial celebration, the church community set an incredible goal of collecting 100 pints of blood this year! The March 28 drive was an important step toward reaching that milestone, and we’re so grateful to everyone who donated, volunteered, and supported the effort. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
KIRKWOOD BLOOD TYPING
We soared with the Kirkwood Eagles this week! Over the course of two days, we brought blood donation education and blood typing to campus while building excitement for their upcoming blood drive.
On Tuesday, Alex and Skye visited two classes to talk about blood donation and offered blood typing. The following day, Alex, Skye, and Jake returned to campus to host a blood typing table open to all students, giving even more people the chance to stop by, learn about donation, and sign up for the upcoming drive.
A special thank-you goes to Tara Allen, the instructor who hosted the classroom presentations. Tara is also the coordinator for the upcoming campus blood drive, and a founding member of the Corridor Associate Board. Thanks to partners like Tara and the enthusiasm of Kirkwood students, we’re excited to see a great turnout when the campus blood drive takes place.

CLASSIFIED LOCATION. UNCLASSIFIED MISSION.
Our donor bus made a stop at the FBI St. Louis field office, and the agents inside showed up in a big way. We could not photograph any of the personnel who donated (they are federal agents, after all), but they were happy to capture our team at work instead.
Through our Heroes for Life initiative, we partner with first responders and organizations like the FBI to build a blood supply that is ready before an emergency ever strikes. Because when seconds matter, the blood that saves a life is the blood already on the shelf.
