La Jolla Community Holiday Blood Drive at the Jewish Community Center

You can gift wrap a sweater. You can place a bow on a shiny new bicycle. You can fill a gift bag with holiday cookies. One thing you can’t put in a box and place under the tree is the perfect gift – a lifesaving blood donation. When you donate blood, you give the perfect gift - another hug, another laugh, another smile, another chance - to someone in need of blood.


Think outside the box this holiday season. The perfect gift is at your American Red Cross blood drive. And, unlike the latest fashion trend, video game or golf club, the perfect gift costs nothing but an hour of your time.


Give the perfect gift and help a family member, friend or someone you’ve never met unwrap a lifetime of memories.

The Red Cross is proud to present “The Perfect Gift,” a video highlighting the importance of blood donation.  Hopefully, it inspires you to give blood this holiday season and throughout the year.
