We Are Blood 75th Anniversary Legacy of Life Benefit

We Are Blood is hosting its inaugural Legacy of Life Benefit at Distribution Hall on Thursday, September 24, from 4 PM to 7 PM. It's a late-afternoon affair in the Lower East, at 1500 E. Fourth, and it marks a pretty big milestone for the organization: 75 years of saving lives in Central Texas. If you've lived here a while, you've likely seen their name around, but this is the first time they're putting together a benefit under this specific name.

The evening is built around a few different things happening at once. There's an awards program honoring local heroes, a silent auction, and a wine pull—the kind of fundraiser where you pay for a random bottle, so you might walk away with something modest or something you'd usually save for a special occasion. Between those, there's plenty of room for networking with other people who care about the cause. The awards are the center of the night, focusing on the people in the community whose contributions have made a difference.

Everything raised goes toward regional blood infrastructure. That's the practical side of what We Are Blood does—keeping the blood supply steady across Central Texas so it's there when it's actually needed. The 75th anniversary gives the whole thing some weight; it's a long run of doing that work in the region.

Tickets start at $250, and there are sponsorship packages available if you're looking to do more than just buy a seat. The event runs from 4 PM to 7 PM on Thursday, September 24, at Distribution Hall, 1500 E. Fourth, in the Lower East.
