Every day, across the Pacific Northwest, Bloodworks’ mission is in motion!

You can see it in donors who roll up their sleeve for the first time. In the patient receiving a lifesaving transfusion. In the volunteers, partners, and supporters who rally their communities to respond to the need for blood. What begins as one generous act creates a powerful ripple effect of hope, healing, and life itself.

This year, we moved our mission forward in exciting and meaningful ways. We launched new campaigns to inspire and welcome the next generation of blood donors. We opened the new Tacoma Donor Center, creating greater access and convenience for donors in the South Sound. We added new bloodmobiles to reach more donors where they live and work.

We expanded blood services to additional local hospitals, helping ensure more patients receive the transfusion care they need when they need it most. And as the Pacific Northwest prepared to welcome World Cup soccer events, we strengthened and readied our blood supply to safeguard our community.

Those who join our mission carry forward a more than 80-year legacy built on enduring traditions of helping people help people, and working for our common good together. These traditions are the foundation of our shared purpose, and they come to life through the values that guide us every day: integrity, ingenuity, courage, and generosity.

This report celebrates the lives touched, the communities strengthened, and the futures made possible through the collective efforts of so many caring individuals. To our blood donors, blood drive organizers, financial supporters, partners, volunteers, and dedicated employees, thank you. Your commitment drives us forward. You inspire us with your generosity and remind us every day that extraordinary things are possible when we work together.

Kindly,

DEAR FRIENDS OF BLOODWORKS NORTHWEST,

At Bloodworks, our mission has always been about people stepping forward to help others and communities uniting around a shared purpose. Our history is marked by service and innovation, but fulfilling our mission requires more than honoring that legacy. It requires us to anticipate what our communities will need next and to invest today in the capacity, relationships, and innovation that will carry us forward. This year, we continue in earnest our Mission in Motion initiative.

Mission in Motion is an investment in our infrastructure and our future. It supports donor growth and geographic expansion, while giving us greater flexibility to go where the need and opportunity are greatest.

Our investment in new blood collection vehicles will take our mission to more people. By expanding mobile blood drives and reaching new neighborhoods, we make donation more accessible, welcome donors from communities that have had fewer opportunities to give, and build a stronger, more diverse blood supply. Each community we reach strengthens the network of donors, hospitals, patients, researchers, and partners that makes our mission possible.

None of this happens without you. Our donors give generously of themselves. Our financial supporters invest in what is possible. Our community and hospital partners open doors and help us reach more people. Our employees bring extraordinary dedication to this mission every day. Together, you keep Bloodworks moving forward.

Thank you for believing in this mission and helping us extend its reach. With new vehicles, donors, and communities ahead, our mission is truly in motion. Together, we are building a stronger blood supply for everyone who depends on it.

With gratitude,
