Rhode Island Blood Center

Even at 95 years old, Joseph continues to show up for his community. For decades, he has been rolling up his sleeve to help patients in need, proving that generosity, compassion, and community spirit have no age limit.

At his most recent donation, Joseph celebrated an incredible milestone — his 275th blood donation! To mark the occasion, multiple generations of his family surprised him at the donor center, and the phlebotomists who have cared for him over the years couldn't miss the celebration either.

Thank you, Joseph, for your dedication to helping others and for setting such an amazing example. 🩸👏

275 donations. 95 years young. One extraordinary legacy of giving. ❤️

"Hey now, you're a all-star, roll your sleeve up, do-nateee!" 🎶

Summertime is full of festivities and fun, but it also is a critical time for donations—thank you to every person who walks through our doors, rolls up their sleeves, and chooses to be a a lifesaver! 📸
