Did you know that 30,000 red cells are transfused every day in the US? They’re vital to helping patients, from premature infants to accident victims. When you come in to donate double red cells twice in 2026, you’ll qualify for Twice the Hero status. This title comes with pride in knowing you’re a lifesaver – and a premium weekender bag for your doubled efforts.

More than a hero

You can take part in Twice the Hero and still participate in our other loyalty programs, like Universal Lifesavers and Platelet Pact, if eligible.
