The O-Team is our program for Type O donors who are committed to giving more than once a year.
The average donor gives fewer than 2 times per year, but the need for blood never takes a day off. In fact, someone needs blood every 2 seconds. Joining the O-Team means you’re helping keep your community ready for the moments that can’t wait
A small thank-you for a huge impact.
We created The O-Team to celebrate donors who keep coming back. Here’s what you’ll receive as you continue donating:
We’re launching The O-Team in June to celebrate World Blood Donor Day on June 14 — a time to recognize the people who make lifesaving care possible.
But this isn’t just about celebration.
Summer is one of the most challenging times of year for the blood supply.
As routines change and people get busy, donations often decrease — while the need for blood stays the same.
Every 2 seconds, someone needs blood.
The O-Team is how we stay ready.
Each O-Team season runs June through June, encouraging donors to stay consistent throughout the year — not just once, but multiple times when it matters most.
By donating regularly within that time frame, O donors help ensure blood is available in emergencies, surgeries, and critical moments — when there’s no time to wait.
Emergencies don’t take the summer off.
And neither should the blood supply.

Because emergencies don’t run on a schedule.
When trauma happens, when surgeries need support, when patients are fighting for their lives, blood has to be available immediately. That’s why repeat donors are essential. The O-Team is our way of recognizing Type O donors who show up again and again.
Type O blood is used more than any other blood type.
They keep the blood supply running.
O Negative: The Universal Donor
O negative is the universal donor in most emergency situations.
When someone’s blood type is unknown and there isn’t time to wait, O negative is often the safest option to use right away.
Bottom line: When seconds matter, hospitals rely on O negative blood
O Positive: The Next Hero
O positive is the most common blood type and one of the most frequently used.
It can be given to many patients, and it plays a huge role in supporting hospitals every day.
And thanks to lifesaving medical advances, some O positive blood may qualify as low titer, which can expand how it’s used in urgent situations.
What does “O Positive, Low Titer” mean?
“Titer” refers to levels of certain antibodies. When those levels are low enough, O positive blood may be considered safer for use in more situations, even when the patient’s blood type is still being confirmed.
That means more flexibility, more readiness, and more lives impacted, especially because O positive donors are so common.
If you meet the requirements of an O Positive, Low Titer donor, we will contact you to let you know.
Bottom line: O positive donors help us build strength in numbers.
If you’re Type O, you’re invited.
Eligibility is simple:
No applications. Just showing up.
Your next donation matters.
When Type O donors donate regularly, it helps keep hospitals prepared for trauma, surgeries, cancer patients, and medical emergencies. The O-Team is how we build a dependable, ready supply, together.
