UPCOMING EVENT
Hope In Every Drop Blood Drive
ITAVFoundation is proud to partner with Revive Solutions LLC, in association with the American Red Cross, to host the “Hope in Every Drop: Supporting Sickle Cell & Community Health” blood drive on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. This critical community initiative is scheduled during National Blood Donor Month, a time dedicated to encouraging blood donations and highlighting the life-saving impact of donors across the country.
DATE: Tuesday, January 21, 2025
LOCATION: Braid Mill
441 High St, Philadelphia, PA 19144
TIME: 12PM-5PM
The “Hope in Every Drop” blood drive is not just about collecting blood; it’s about raising awareness for the pressing need for diverse blood donors, especially those in Black and Brown communities, who play an essential role in the treatment of sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disproportionately affects African Americans, and patients often need carefully matched blood types for effective treatment. These unique needs make it crucial to increase blood donations from underrepresented communities, where compatible matches are more likely to be found.

Join Us in Making a Difference: Supporting Philadelphia's Public Schools!
The Philadelphia public school system faces significant challenges due to chronic underfunding. Teachers are often left to bridge the gap by spending their own money on classroom supplies. On average, 3.5 million educators nationwide are shelling out at least $500 annually out of their pockets to ensure their students have the tools they need to learn and succeed.
Our goal is simple: to give 1000 school bags full of supplies to students who need them. This will help teachers and families by making sure every child has what they need for school.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference.
What Your Donation Supports:
- School bags filled with essential supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, rulers, and more.
- Support a classroom: Providing supplies to teachers who often dip into their own pockets to provide for their classrooms.
- Empowerment of students by ensuring they have the tools needed to excel in their education.
