“My OneBlood Journey and Message My Donor are bringing the donation experience full-circle by personalizing the donation experience for donors and by bringing them a step closer to the patients they are helping save,” said Forbes.
The program is part of a larger campaign, “There’s a Hero in You 2022,″ which also allows donors to know which hospital their donation is going to.
