World Blood Donor Day was the perfect time to thank the generous individuals who roll up their sleeves to save lives—and to highlight the ongoing need for blood in our community.

As we celebrate 60 years of Inova Blood Donor Services, we’re honored to shine a light on some of our most committed donors. These everyday heroes show us what compassion looks like in action.

NBC Washington joined us to share their powerful stories—why they give, who inspires them, and how every donation makes a difference.

Watch now and be inspired
