WP$E Podcast: Donor Dialogue
This episode of the Community Blood Bank Podcast Spotlight highlights a major investment in new specialized equipment that will improve how lifesaving blood products are prepared and delivered across the Erie region, thanks to a collaboration between local hospitals. Executive Director Dee Rosenthal explains how this advancement—particularly the ability to irradiate blood—will enhance patient safety, strengthen the local blood supply, and reflect a rare and impactful partnership among competing healthcare systems.
Upcoming Events
At the Community Blood Bank, our donors are the heart of everything we do. Each donation helps save lives, support local hospitals, and strengthen our community. That’s why we are proud to celebrate our incredible donors during our annual Donor Appreciation Day.
This special day is dedicated to recognizing the generosity and commitment of those who roll up their sleeves to make a difference. Whether you’re a first-time donor or a longtime supporter, Donor Appreciation Day is our way of saying thank you.
Donors who join us for this celebration can enjoy a welcoming atmosphere, special giveaways, and the chance to connect with others who share a passion for giving back. It’s also an opportunity to learn more about how your donations directly impact patients right here in our region.
No, you do not need to wait until this day to donate! ALL donors are invited to celebrate day of. To schedule your next blood donation, click here.

Players will have the chance win the $10,000 hole in one prize and can compete in a putting contest for various prizes.
Funds raised from this event will go towards our marketing and outreach efforts to help us reach more donors throughout the community. For more informations, click here.
We are excited to share that, together with iHeartMedia, Community Blood Bank will be hosting Bob-a-thon, a radiothon to encourage blood donation and raise funds in support of our blood collection efforts across the region.
During Bob-a-thon, iHeartMedia will help amplify our mission by sharing stories, educating listeners about the ongoing need for blood, and encouraging community support through on-air fundraising and an on-site blood drive held at the Boston Store. This partnership allows us to reach thousands of people throughout the region and shine a spotlight on the lifesaving impact of blood donation.
Less than 2% of our local community donates blood each year, even though more than 60% of the population is eligible. Without intervention, the continued decline in blood donors could become a public safety issue. Summer months are historically challenging for blood collection which makes the success of this radiothon more critical than ever.
Funds raised through the iHeartMedia Radiothon will go towards our marketing and outreach efforts to help us reach more donors throughout the community. For more information, click here.
