Help save lives - and save your Commit for Life store points

When a donor goes 15 months with no donation activity, his or her Commit for Life points willbe donated back to Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center.

The Blood Center encourages donors who have been inactive for long periods to resume their donations before reaching the 15-month mark. It will keep donors' points from expiring, and most importantly, help save more lives.
