What is a Lifesaver Club?A Lifesaver Club is an organization that has made a commitment to support the community by participating in regularly scheduled blood drives. Examples of Lifesaver Clubs include large and small businesses, churches, schools and civic groups.Lifesaver Clubs help save thousands of lives by bringing in more than half of Hawaii’s blood supply. They serve as a valuable resource during times of emergency or low donor turnout.
