William was born on November 24, 2009, but a complication during birth led to a severe respiratory problem. He spent the first five days of his life on an ECMO machine.

She entered the world at 26 weeks, weighing only 1 pound, 11 ounces. Her young lungs were underdeveloped and her white cell count was dangerously low. Thanks to local blood donors like you, Tyler went home to her family after 10 weeks and 3 blood transfusions.

Scholarships and Grants for High School Students
CBCC is proud to offer two distinct programs to our high school partners dedicated to saving local lives through community blood donation. We think it's important to educate and recognize our young donors and give back to schools in our community. To participate in either the scholarship or grant program, your school needs to join CBCC's High School Blood Drive Program.

We Need Your Help
Our local hospitals and patients depend on us for the blood products they need, and we depend on you for donations! Donating blood is one of the few ways you can make a huge impact in your community by truly giving of yourself.
