Making a difference, one donation at a time
Working together with leading organizations to save lives
We raise awareness about the severe shortage of blood, marrow, and organ donations in the U.S. and inspire people to become lifesaving donors.
The demand for blood and organs far exceeds supply. The U.S. blood supply has dropped, emergencies often have only a 1-day reserve, and thousands die every year waiting for matching organ donors.
To build a nationwide culture of giving—encouraging every eligible people to donate blood, marrow, or organs and help save lives.
We run awareness campaigns, support donor registries, partner with medical organizations, and amplify community-led donation efforts.
Our vision of a future where donation is second nature—a shared responsibility that unites people and saves lives every day.
Yes. We partner with established blood banks, donation networks, and medical organizations to amplify their work. For a full list of our partner organizations, please refer to our Benefiting Organizations section.
It’s the culture shift we’re fighting for—where donation becomes a way of life, not a second thought. A nation where giving blood, marrow, or organs is seen as a shared civic responsibility to protect one another.
Yes. Through The City of Angels, we assist with hunger relief, homelessness, children’s health, and disaster response through charity concerts and creative outreach.
