UPDATE: Our “Refer-a-Friend Rewards” program has been extended through March 31, 2024.
At San Diego Blood Bank, we believe that everyone can play a part in saving lives. This February, with our “Refer-a-Friend” program, it’s easier and more rewarding than ever! We’re calling on our incredible community of donors to help us reach new friends and family members who haven’t yet discovered the joy and impact of blood donation.
Every day, about 350 blood donations are needed to meet the urgent needs of our hospital partners and the patients we serve. Your contributions are crucial in saving the lives of local patients who depend on these donations for their survival and recovery.
What’s better than saving lives? Saving lives with a friend!
How the Refer-a-Friend Program Works
- Refer New Donors: Encourage friends or family who haven’t donated with us before to give blood at one of our 10 donor centers.
- Earn Rewards: For each new donor you refer who donates, you’ll receive a $25 reward as a token of our appreciation.
- Maximize Your Impact: You can earn up to $250 by referring 10 new donors. Plus, you have the option to donate your reward back toward SDBB’s Team Survivor program or our annual Volunteer Appreciation event.
Receiving Your Refer-a-Friend Rewards

After the person you referred completes their appointment, simply complete and submit the online form. Once confirmed, we’ll send your reward via email. It’s that easy!
Your referrals are more than just numbers; they represent hope, health, and life for those in need. By extending your impact through the “Refer-a-Friend” program, you’re not only contributing to our community’s well-being but also encouraging a culture of giving and compassion. |
Making a Bigger Impact Together
Your participation in the “Refer-a-Friend” program extends beyond just increasing our donor base—it represents a deeper commitment to our community’s health and well-being. By starting your “life chain” and referring new donors, you’re helping to create a ripple effect of hope and life-saving action.
We cannot overstate our gratitude for your ongoing support. Each referral you make brings us closer to ensuring that everyone in need receives the gift of life. This is more than just a campaign; it’s a community effort to save lives and foster a culture of compassion and giving.
Let’s continue to make a significant difference together. Refer a new donor today, and be a part of this vital mission to strengthen our community. Remember, every new donor you bring helps save lives and brings us closer to meeting the daily need for 350 blood donations.
Thank you for being a lifeline. Together, we save lives!
