Approximately 32,000 units of blood are used each day in the United States.
Roughly 60% of the population is eligible to donate blood; however only 5% currently do.
Each time you give blood, you help save as many as three lives.
On average, 95% of people who live to age 72 will need a blood transfusion at some point during their lifetime.
