Were you aware that there is a need for over 22,000 units of blood each weekday and 15,000 units each weekend to meet patient demand? Every 2 seconds someone needs blood. Platelets are vital in treatment for cancer and surgical patients. Did you know that platelets last only 5 days? You can safely donate platelets every two weeks.

Suncoast Communities Blood Bank (SCBB) motto:

You don't need a cape, the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound or the courage to dodge bullets, blades or flames to save a life...

all you need to do is give blood.
