AABB Community Walks, Runs and Raises $10,000 for World Blood Donor Day

From May 14 to June 14, members from across the blood and biotherapies community participated in the AABB Foundation’s World Blood Donor Day Virtual Walk/Run. Together, participants raised more than $10,000 to support groundbreaking research that makes transfusion medicine and biotherapies safer and more effective for patients worldwide.

In recognition of World Blood Donor Day, participants walked, ran and raised awareness about the critical need for blood and blood product donations while celebrating the life-saving impact of donors.

The AABB Foundation extends its gratitude to generous sponsors of the walk/run: Blood Bank Computer Systems (BBCS), Macopharma, Stanford Blood Center, Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies and Werfen. Their support helped expand the reach of the event and recognize the donors who make life-saving care possible every day.

AABB extends a special recognition to BBCS for its show of enthusiasm and commitment as the sponsor with the most team signups.

The AABB Foundation thanks all participants, donors and sponsors whose support made this year's event a success and helps advance research that improves patient care worldwide.
