When communities gather for music, dance, theater and art, something powerful happens. At Versiti, we believe that same energy can help save lives.
Stage for Life is Versiti’s ongoing partnership with local arts organizations and cultural institutions to bring lifesaving blood donation into the heart of our community.
From ballet companies to symphonies, theaters to galleries, Stage for Life blood drives invite artists, patrons and supporters to step forward and give. Each blood donation can support patients and families across our community when they need it most.
When the arts community leads the way, hope moves beyond the stage.
Explore upcoming Stage for Life blood drives and schedule your donation today.
