Celebrating 75 Years of Saving Lives in Central Texas

Join us on September 24 for the Legacy of Life Benefit, an evening honoring the people who make lifesaving blood donation possible in Central Texas. Because the need for blood never pauses.

LEGACY OF LIFE BENEFIT FOR WE ARE BLOOD
Thursday, September 24, 2026
4-7 p.m.
Distribution Hall (1500 E. 4th St, Austin)

Every Donation Has a Story

Behind every blood donation is a real person—a parent, a child, a neighbor—whose life depends on it. This event exists because the need for blood never pauses. Emergencies happen every day, and hospitals rely on a steady, reliable supply to save lives.

The Legacy of Life Awards & Benefit supports the essential work behind that reality:

Recruiting and retaining blood donors
Supporting critical blood operations
Expanding access and awareness across Central Texas
Ensuring lifesaving care is within reach for our community

It’s also a moment to publicly recognize the donors, volunteers, healthcare professionals, and partners whose dedication sustains this lifeline for our community.

A Night of Impact

The evening fosters meaningful connections, builds long-term support, and reinforces a simple truth: saving lives is a shared responsibility.

Event Highlights:

Program including Legacy of Life Awards honoring community impact
Networking with civic and business leaders
Celebration of We Are Blood’s 75th anniversary
Fundraising opportunities through a silent auction and wine pull

Funds raised during the evening will directly support key initiatives in We Are Blood’s strategic plan – helping expand capacity and grow alongside our region, serving Central Texas for generations to come.

75 Years of Community. Lifesaving Impact. Endless Possibility.

Since 1951, We Are Blood remains the local, nonprofit blood center serving ten counties across Central Texas. With a mission to save lives locally, We Are Blood is proud to be the sole supplier of blood products to the over 50 hospitals, medical facilities, and EMS agencies across the region. That means every patient in need of a blood transfusion in the Central Texas area relies on We Are Blood – the donors, drive hosts, volunteers and staff who make it all possible.
