Red Cross Premier Blood Partner

Ean Sinn • May 14, 2026

The Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center collects 172 units in 2025!

A Milestone Worth Celebrating

The Sinn Family Celebration of Life Center is proud to announce we've been recognized as a Premier Blood Partner - an honor earned by collecting 172 units of blood in 2025 alone.

None of this would be possible without you - the generous individuals who choose to give a part of themselves so that others might live. Thank you.

We're also deeply grateful for the dedicated people who make each drive run smoothly: Sarah Glidden, our incredible donor scheduler; Ean Sinn, our coordinator; and the wonderful team of volunteers who welcome every donor through our doors with warmth and care.

Since opening our business, we've hosted 8 blood drives and collected a total of 465 units - a remarkable reflection of this community's generosity. We're proud of how far we've come, and we're excited to see that number keep growing.

If you've never donated before, we'd love for you to consider it. One donation can save up to three lives, and it starts right here in your community.

Our next blood drive is June 15th from 1:00-6:00 PM at our Trimont location. We hope to see you there!

Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Donors can schedule an appointment by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767), or using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.

How to donate blood

All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.
