World Blood Donor Day 2025

World Blood Donor Day - June 14

VIRTUAL WALK/RUN

May 14 - June 14

In honor of World Blood Donor Day on June 14, the AABB Foundation invites you to walk, run, roll, or pedal your way to the finish line of our virtual walk/run anytime between May 14 and June 14.

Every step you take raises awareness for the critical need for blood donations, honors the heroes who donate, and fuels innovative research that makes transfusion medicine and biotherapies safe, available, and effective worldwide.

From forming a team to participating solo, or joining an existing team, there's a place for everyone in the blood and biotherapies community, and it starts with you.

Take the first step today by signing up to participate and make a difference in the lives of patients and donors!
