When Joe Kelly was a child, he tagged along with his dad to their local blood center, drawn in by a simple reward — a doughnut. “My dad is O positive, so his blood was in heavy demand,” Joe said. “I remember he’d say, ‘Hey Joe, you want a doughnut?’ and I’d be tricked into going to the blood center because they had doughnuts at the time.” Joe's father explained to him that he was simply helping others who needed his blood. That mindset led Joe to become a dedicated blood donor himself — and eventually a platelet donor with RedCross_Michigan. With his most recent donation, Joe reached an extraordinary milestone: 50 gallons donated, the equivalent of about 400 units of lifesaving blood products. “All it took was my dad to be a role model and show me how to help other people through blood donation,” he said. We’re grateful to blood donors like Joe and his dad for making a lasting difference for others. Join us in celebrating Joe for reaching this incredible milestone! #DonateBlood #...
