Overview

Mission

The mission of the blood & tissue center foundation is to serve as an advocate to increase community awareness and to develop financial and other resources in support exclusively of biobridge global and its subsidiaries.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, funds raised by The Blood & Tissue Center Foundation assisted in erecting a digital sign in front of BioBridge Global's headquarters on IH 10 West that advertises the need for blood and blood components while also highlighting other important messaging and our community partnerships. Contributions assisted in the replacement of aged motor pool and delivery vehicles and improvements made to our helipad which have both been crucial in life saving activities. Generous gifts to the Foundation have helped replace donor beds in our community donor rooms, fluid warmers in the Center for Advanced Therapies, and create English and Spanish educational videos on the subject of tissue donations. Funds in 2024 also assisted in crucial donor recruiting and retention activities for South Texas Blood & Tissue Center.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
