In partnership with Saturn Corporation and the United Auto Workers Union , donation organizations provide an opportunity fo rall Americans to visit a Saturn Delearships in their area to give blood, join the National Marow Registry and learn about how to comit to being an organ, eye and tissue donor

Why be a donor? Because the need is constant and growing.

Over 110,000 are in need of an organ transplant. And thousands of children and adults in our country have life-threatening blood diseases that could be treated by a marrow, blood stem cell or cord blood transplant. Someone in America needs blood every two seconds.

On this Valentine’s Day, celebrate the people you love by becoming a donor.
