🎉 Welcome to the ABS 50 Club, John! 🩸👏

John reached his 50th platelet donation and we think that deserves a big celebration!

He started donating platelets back in 2015, not because he was donating for a specific patient, but simply because he could. He knew his donations were helping someone who needed them, and he kept showing up. That kind of commitment matters.

Every ABS platelet donation helps support local cancer and transplant patients who rely on these lifesaving transfusions during treatment and recovery. John may not always know the names of the patients he has helped, but his generosity has made a real difference.

Want to be like John? Donate because you can. Donate because someone needs you. Donate because platelets save lives.

Call (404) 459-8744 to schedule your platelet donation today.

Please donate platelets to support local patients! 404-459-8644

Today, on World Blood Donor Day, we celebrate the people behind every lifesaving transfusion: our blood donors. ❤️ In this video, our team shares heartfelt @thankthedonor messages from blood recipients whose lives were changed by the generosity of someone they may never meet. These words are a powerful reminder that every blood donation has a story, a purpose, and a person on the other side. To every donor: thank you for helping us fulfill our mission and ensuring patients have the blood they need when they need it most. Your kindness creates hope, healing, and second chances every single day. #WorldBloodDonorDay #BloodDonation #DonateBlood #GiveBlood #BloodDonor

It's only fitting that right before World Blood Donor Day, we were honored to celebrate Mike’s incredible 200th platelet donation! 🩸👏

Mike first began donating after seeing firsthand how important platelets were during his son’s treatment. More than a decade later, he is still showing up for patients and families who depend on donors like him.

Mike, thank you for your dedication, compassion, and commitment to helping save lives. (Watch for more of Mike's story coming soon.)

Be like Mike. Donate platelets. Give hope.

Platelet Donor Spotlight: Nathan — 250 Platelet Donations! 🩸👏

When “T,” a pediatric brain cancer patient, came into Nathan’s life, he asked Nathan if he donated platelets.

Nathan’s answer was simple: “No, but I will start.”

That “yes” was the beginning of something incredible. Nathan made his first platelet donation in January 2015, and just over a decade later, he has reached an amazing milestone: 250 platelet donations with Atlanta Blood Services!

In honor of Nathan and T, class is in session: Platelet Edition. 🩸

🩸 Platelets help prevent and control bleeding.
⏳ Platelets have a short shelf life — only 5 days — so the need for donors is constant.
🏥 Patients undergoing cancer treatment, leukemia treatment, and bone marrow transplant often rely on platelet transfusions as part of their care.
💛 Regular platelet donors help ensure platelets are available when local patients need them.

“I remain in awe of the result of spending so little of my time making a lifesaving difference in another’s life,” Nathan said. “Plus, the ABS staff is sunshine on my donation days!”

Nathan, thank you for your extraordinary commitment, your generous heart, and the example you set for others.

Be like Nathan. Say yes. Donate platelets. Help save lives.

We love this sweet family and Heather’s beautiful testimony! ❤️

Please consider becoming a regular platelet donor and helping give patients like Heather the chance to heal, hope, and continue making a difference in the world.

Let’s make Heather’s July “You Are NOT Alone” Platelet Drive a huge success! Every platelet donation will help support local patients, and the Prizes for Platelets Heather earns by recruiting donors will also be gifted back to BMTGA patients who need encouragement and support.

What a beautiful way to celebrate life, give hope, and remind patients they are not alone. 🩸
