New member Class Blood Drive 2024

We held our annual blood drive in partnership with Versiti and Curative Care on April 20th. Our new members worked tirelessly to promote and execute the event, encouraging the warmer weather with our ‘beach day’ decorations!  We had over 20 donations and continued our almost 80 year commitment to The Wisconsin Blood Center (Versiti) and Curative.

Junior League of Milwaukee and Versiti Blood center

In 1947, the Junior League of Milwaukee recognized a need and founded the Blood Center which offered a place for the community to go to donate blood. Over seventy years later, the Blood Center is still an important part of the Milwaukee community, and today is called Versiti. Milwaukee Magazine recently featured Versiti and their work in Milwaukee.
