In honor of International Women’s Day tomorrow, we would like to proudly recognize a Minnesota Department of Health partner Rae Blaylark, founder and director of the Sickle Cell Foundation of Minnesota, who recently received the 2025 Dr. Charles Drew Lifesaver Award on behalf of her organization. This recognition is presented to outstanding leaders in blood donation and advocacy and is a testament to Rae’s leadership in advocating for the needs of sickle cell patients as well as their collaboration with Memorial Blood Centers in ensuring a safe, ample, and diverse blood supply.
