Thu, 30 Jul 2026 06:38:06 GMT

This September marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. In the days and weeks that followed, the country came together in extraordinary ways, including donating blood in record numbers.

We know that in times of crisis, our communities step up to help. But every day, thousands of people need lifesaving blood transfusions because of cancer treatments, childbirth complications, surgeries, traumatic injuries, and other medical emergencies.

This September 8-12, honor that spirit of service by donating blood. Every donation is an act of compassion that saves lives. As a thank-you, all donors at a LifeServe donor center or mobile blood drive will receive our exclusive patriotic trucker hats – back by popular demand!

Schedule your donation today at a LifeServe donor center or blood drive near you.

Each year the state of Iowa picks a side for one week leading up to the Iowa – Iowa State football game. Rivalries form between coworkers, friends and families. Half wearing black and the other half wearing cardinal.

When the game ends, both sides return to being Iowans willing to support each other. It’s part of what makes Iowans great, they see the big picture and are willing to help their neighbors in times of need. Currently, local Iowa hospitals need lifesaving blood and it’s time for all Iowans to come together and help.

You can show the team you support by wearing your team’s colors during your donation and the game, but show we all bleed the same color by scheduling your blood donation with LifeServe Blood Center.

Donate blood at any LifeServe Blood Center in Iowa between September 8 and 10 and you’ll be able to show you stepped up by earning a What Color Do You Bleed shirt. Wear it with pride to show no matter what color you cheer for we all support our local hospitals.

Schedule your donation today at LifeServeBloodCenter.org.

Are you a business owner? Unlock the success you've always envisioned for your business at our exclusive "6 Steps to Your Business Owner Playbook" workshop! Wondering what's in it for you? Let's break it down:

Get clear and get in control. Stop reacting all day. We help you simplify what matters most, set a real direction, and create a plan you can actually follow, so your business feels steadier and less stressful.
Attract the right customers on purpose. No more “anyone with a pulse.” You’ll dial in who you serve best and how to talk about what you do, so the right people find you faster and saying “yes” becomes easier.
Build a business that runs smoother (even when you’re busy). We’ll turn the stuff you do repeatedly into simple, repeatable steps, so things don’t fall apart when life gets hectic or when you hand work to someone else.
Create a team that carries weight. Whether it’s your first hire or your tenth, we focus on getting the right people, setting clear expectations, and building accountability, so you’re not the only one pushing the rock uphill.
Make everything work together. Marketing, sales, operations, and leadership shouldn’t feel like separate jobs. We help you connect the dots so your time, money, and energy go into a system that actually supports growth.
Turn effort into real results. You’ll measure what matters, make smarter decisions, and keep momentum, so you’re not just “busy,” you’re building profit, progress, and more FREEDOM.
