Help us save the lives of captive blood donors everywhere. A donation of any amount is greatly appreciated. Letter from our PresidentAs of June 1, 2008, Sun States Animal Blood Bank
is officially changing its name to Sun States: Blood Banks for Animals.
Our Mission StatementSun States: Blood Banks for Animals is dedicated to providing safe and high-quality canine blood products to the veterinary community. We only accept blood from volunteer donors - we believe that the quality of life of one animal should not be enhanced at the expense of another. We are a non-profit organization; we are the custodians of life -- something from which no one should achieve personal or corporate financial gain. We are committed to ensuring the safety and availability of the animal blood supply, and to helping veterinarians, technicians, and the general public to best make use of the advances in modern transfusion medicine.
Our OutreachBesides being a blood bank for animals, Sun States is also a professional training center committed in providing high quality educational programs for veterinarians, their staff, animal hospitals and clinics, veterinary schools, and the community. We are members of the Association of Veterinary Hematology and Transfusion Medicine (AVHTM), offer animal first-aid and CPR training classes developed by the American Safety/Health Institute (ASHI), the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and follow the guidelines of the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). Furthermore, Sun States is proud to comply with the position statement as promulgated by the Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights for the use of blood donors. Please view their web site for more information at Use of Blood Donors. Sun States: Blood Banks for Animals is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization as designated by the Internal Revenue Service! We are thankful for this ruling as we believe it is crucial for our existence. We believe our charitable designation is important to the perception of the local community, animal rights organizations, greyhound rescue groups, and to affirm the goodness of our intentions.
Dr. Steven G. Paul Memorial Blood Donation FundIn a unique community service program developed by Sun States and Coral Springs Dog Day Run, both 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, life-saving blood components will be donated to families with financial need who live in the following communities in Broward County, Florida: Coral Springs, Parkland, Coconut Creek, Margate, and Tamarac. Restrictions apply and final approval for donated blood components remains solely with Coral Springs Dog Day Run. We hope that other hospitals will participate in this program to allow lower income families who otherwise would not be able to afford blood products for their sick or injured companions the ability to receive assistance.
