Your Gift: Another Birthday, Another Chance, More Time for Local Patients
Besides saving lives, LifeServe Blood Center is dedicated to continually advancing the blood banking industry through innovative trials, creative training methods, outstanding customer service, and applied research. Better transfusion medicine knowledge means better patient outcomes. That's what it's all about.
Scholarships
Support students' educational aspirations by contributing to the LifeServe scholarship fund. High schools and students can earn scholarships by organizing blood drives. By participating, students not only have the chance to help save lives but also to secure financial aid for their higher education journey. To qualify for these scholarships, students must actively recruit donors, oversee the blood drive, and manage donor registrations. Scholarships are available to any student pursuing or already excelling in their education. Additionally, high schools meeting the criteria will nominate a student for the scholarship. Your financial contribution to the LifeServe scholarship fund not only benefits deserving students but also ensures a steady blood supply for the community.

The LifeServe Gift of Life Garden is a sustainable, welcoming community space highlighting those ensuring the stability or benefiting from the community blood supply.
It honors the businesses, churches, schools and individual community members that play a vital role in ensuring that a stranger has access to the “gift of life”. The garden’s sole purpose is to honor the commitment it takes in the communities we serve to ensure that when needed, blood is available. Like a community’s first responders, the community blood supply is handled locally…it is a locally controlled national resource. It is vital that blood be on the shelf when it is needed. To be sustainable, the community blood supply must be nurtured and cared for much like a garden.
Why
The garden will broaden understanding of the importance of a community having a sustainable blood supply through:
-
Honoring individuals who ensure a sustainable blood supply through their work, volunteering, or blood donation.
-
Recognizing individuals who have and continue to benefit from a sustainable blood supply.
-
Educating about the importance of a sustainable blood supply.
