Partners for Life

A blood drop.

Donating blood saves lives

For more than a decade, we have empowered our team members to donate blood during the workday. We consider the members of our Partners For Life team to be true heroes. While we temporarily paused our complimentary shuttles due to COVID-19, our team members still regularly take time out of their busy schedules to donate blood and make a lifesaving difference to those in need. We recently chatted with a few of our regular donors—check out their inspiring stories about why they donate here.

says Brian Geislinger, veteran blood donor with over 120 donations under his belt.

explains Kurt George, who has now donated over 50 times.

says Michael Levy, a member of our Partners For Life team for the past eight years.
