This October, Versiti Blood Center of Michigan and ABCD: After Breast Cancer Diagnosis are turning awareness into action with "Be the Cure: Pulse in Pink".
For every ABCD supporter who donates blood at a Versiti donor center through October 31 and uses the code "ABCD", Versiti will contribute up to $10,000 to support survivor-to-survivor programs.
Each donation helps patients undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, or stem-cell transplants, and provides hope when it's needed most. Visit versiti.org to find a donation site near you.
