Every blood donor has a story. For Jennifer Tripp of New Hampshire, that story started with fear of blood, but led to a lifelong commitment to saving lives.
This April, that commitment paid off in a surprising way. Jennifer was one of three lucky nationwide winners to receive a $5,000 gift card from the Red Cross. It was part of the April giveaway. Anyone who came in to donate blood or platelets during the month was automatically entered for a chance to win.

Donnie Graham walked into the Red Cross Donor Center in Portland, Maine. It had been years since he had been inside this building. He was a little kid back then. Now, at 18, Donnie scanned the room looking at each donor giving blood. Then he moved his gaze over to a different area where donors were sitting in beds, watching television and some were snuggled in blankets. All had both arms outstretched. Without hesitation, he walked over to an older man and gave him a big hug.
“Hey Donnie,” his grandfather said removing his headphones and smiling.
