🚨 URGENT: CRITICAL BLOOD SHORTAGE 🚨

Our regional blood supply is critically low, and we need our community and healthcare partners to act NOW.

Every day, hospitals depend on blood donations to care for trauma patients, emergency surgeries, mothers experiencing complications, cancer patients, and others facing life-threatening situations. Blood cannot be manufactured — it can only come from volunteer donors.

When supplies become critically low, there is less margin for emergencies.

We are calling on our EMS agencies, hospitals, first responders, healthcare partners, community organizations, and residents to do their part.

🩸 Schedule a blood donation
🩸 Encourage your team to donate
🩸 Share this message to expand awareness

One hour of your time could mean the difference between life and loss for someone in our region.

Please don’t wait. Donate today and help protect our communities.

From the first swing of the club to the last putt of the Occunet Classic, the Panhandle RAC has been deployed with planning and operational support with partners from Northwest Texas Hospital and Amarillo Office of Emergency Management from June 8-14, 2026. Combine this with planning and operational support for the Route 66 finale on June 13, 2026, it’s been a busy week with long hours for our team. Thank you to our partners at NWTH and to our regional partners who monitored our RMOC room for any needs. All of you make up the best region in the state and we are proud to have all of you as partners! Thanks for what you do!
