Let’s go, Windward side! 🩸✨

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Many people living with diabetes require blood transfusions to treat severe complications like kidney failure, chronic anemia, and critical surgical needs—making community donations vital. Plus, healthy individuals living with diabetes are fully eligible to donate as long as their condition is well-managed!

Join us on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at Windward Mall. The Blood Bank of Hawaii bloodmobile will be set up outside near Regal Theatres.

* Eligibility check: Whole blood donations are spaced 56 days apart. If you last donated on or before September 13th, you may be ready to save lives again.

Scan the QR code on the flyer or head to bbh.org to book your appointment slot today.

His buddy got deferred and asked him to go in his place. His answer? "Eh, they don't need me." 🙄

Turns out his blood is CMV-negative. 🩸

CMV (cytomegalovirus) is a common virus, and many adults have carried it without ever knowing. If your blood tests CMV-negative, your donation is often set aside for the most vulnerable patients, like newborns and some pregnant patients.

You never know what your blood can do until you show up. Bring a friend, or go for one who can't.

Make an appointment today with Blood Bank of Hawaiʻi. 🌺

Repost! ❤️ In Loving Memory of My Daughter, Tiffany Higa

The Story Behind My Blood Drive

On October 28, 2018, my life changed forever.

I received a devastating phone call from my son-in-law telling me that my daughter, Tiffany, had been killed in a car accident in Texas. He asked me to get there as soon as I could. By the grace of timing, I was already scheduled to visit her the very next day, October 29.

Eight years later, I am still trying to understand how this happened and searching for a sense of peace.

🩸 Turning Heartbreak Into Hope

Tiffany had a wish to donate her body to the University of Hawaiʻi for scientific research and education. Unfortunately, that wish could not be fulfilled because her body was cremated.

I wanted to find another meaningful way to honor her wishes and give something back. That is why I organized this blood drive in Tiffany’s memory.

Through this blood drive, I hope to turn tragedy into hope and help save lives in honor of my daughter.

🌺 Remembering Tiffany

Tiffany was a proud graduate of Mililani High School, Class of 1999. She was a Girl Scout troop mom, a loving mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and so much more.

Although she lived in Texas, she was always an island girl at heart. She loved Hawaiʻi, and Hawaiʻi will always be part of her story.

Tiffany leaves behind her three beloved daughters, Gigi, Tita, and Risa; her husband, Neftaly; her mother, Denise Pina Torres; her father, Kenneth (Rhonda) Higa; her sister, Brandi Higa; and her nephews, Noah and Luca. She will forever be loved and missed by her family and all those whose lives she touched.

With all the accidents and emergencies happening these days, the Blood Bank of Hawaii needs our help to keep the blood supply strong! Every donation makes a difference, and your one donation can help save up to THREE LIVES! 🙏🏽❤️

🩸 BE A HERO. BE A BLOOD DONOR. SAVE LIVES!

🎟️🏈 BONUS GIVEAWAY! 🏨🌺

Everyone who signs up AND shows up to donate will be entered into a drawing to win:

🏈 UH Game Tickets!
🌺 A 2-Night Stay at the OUTRIGGER Waikīkī Paradise Hotel!

What a wonderful way to give back to our community while having a chance to win something special! ❤️

Another successful blood drive — this time we were parked and pumped at BYU. Always a good time with the students, and always worth it.

Same commute. Same jam. Every day.

Reduce the traffic on the highway — take the next exit to the nearest Bloodmobile or donor center.

Give a pint (~1 hour), keep Hawaiʻi’s hospitals stocked, and get back on the road knowing that wait actually did something.
