The South Texas Blood and Tissue Center is remembering the victims of the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde nearly two years ago with a specially designed shirt.
The shirt is open to blood donors who redeem their points at the South Texas Blood and Tissue Donor Store. It features the phrase "Give to remember" to remind the community to donate blood.
Proceeds go to the Uvalde Strong Fund through the San Antonio Regional Foundation, which supports survivors and the Uvalde community, honoring victims and their families.
The South Texas Blood and Tissue Center said it sent 24 units of blood by helicopter in 2022 minutes for patients injured in the shooting on May 24, 67 minutes.
"Almost two years ago the community of Uvalde was forever changed by a senseless act of violence. We will always remember the victims of the attack at Robb Elementary School and continue to hold the survivors in our hearts," the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center said in a press release.
Local investigators will be donating blood this Friday to show their continued support for the Uvalde community.
Donors can redeem their points for "Give to Remember" Uvalde shirts at the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center Donor Store through May 31.
