American Red Cross Blood Drive

media release: The American Red Cross has declared only the second national blood crisis in its history, and blood donations have fallen to a four-year summer low. Patients facing cancer, traumatic injuries, sickle cell disease, and other serious medical conditions depend on blood donors every day.

The Urban League of Greater Madison, the Urban League of Greater Madison Guild, and the American Red Cross are partnering to help meet this urgent need.

OUR GOAL: 25 DONATIONS

Every donor has the opportunity to make a lifesaving difference for patients and families in our community and across the region.

 September 16, 2026, 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM, The Hub Ascendium Atrium, 2222 S. Park Street, Madison, WI 53713

September is also Sickle Cell Awareness Month, an important reminder that many individuals living with sickle cell disease rely on regular blood transfusions throughout their lives.
