As news outlets across the country report on a national blood shortage, ConnectLife is encouraging Western New Yorkers to take action by donating blood locally.

Parents Alex and Lydia share their special connection to blood donation through their son, Daxon.

ConnectLife, Western New York’s only community blood bank, is putting out an emergency appeal to donors as the supply for local hospitals hits a critical low during the slowest time of the year for donations.

Alyson Danielewicz, Chairperson at NY Power Authority & ConnectLife Blood Drive Sponsor shares why hosting blood drives at the New York Power Authority is important to them.

We need WNYers to come in to donate blood this week! A summer shortage has caused an increased need for blood and platelet donation. Come in and get some special "thank yous" including an Independence Day t-shirt, Delta Sonic gift card, and a chance to win a pair of tickets to a preseason game at the new stadium.

For as long as that playoff run lasts, ConnectLife will be raffling off two pairs of tickets to each Buffalo Sabres home playoff game.

With each blood donation, donors earn points in the ConnectLife Rewards Store.

All February long, donors at ConnectLife centers and mobile drives will walk away with exclusive Bandits t-shirts, perfect for celebrating their selfless donation while cheering on the defending champs.

ConnectLife and Moe’s Southwest Grill are thanking the everyday heroes who give a piece of themselves to save the lives of their neighbors.
