During the summer months, blood donations tend to decline as eligible donors become busy with vacations and other summer activities. Eligible donors who give on May 5 will help ensure cancer patients, trauma victims, surgery patients and others have the lifesaving blood products they need. All blood types are needed, especially types O negative, B negative and A negative blood.
