Community Invited to Donate Blood in Honor of Team Emma: Overwhelming Community Support Encourages Second Blood Drive
9/25/2025
When 21-year-old Emma Seiler was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)—a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow—the impact extended beyond her friends and family. It touched the entire community.
On September 11, strangers, community members and coworkers came together to roll up their sleeves and make lifesaving blood donations in Emma’s honor. Following the community’s incredible response at the last “Team Emma” blood drive—where nearly 100 units of blood were donated—DeTar Healthcare System is once again inviting the public to give the gift of life in Emma’s honor.
The next “In Honor of Team Emma” Blood Drive will take place on:
Monday, October 13
10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
DeTar Hospital Navarro – Education Classroom, 506 E San Antonio Street, Victoria, TX 77901
Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment at https://tinyurl.com/TeamEmmaDeTar. A picture ID is required. Appreciation gifts and refreshments will be provided for all donors. For more information, call (713) 792-7777.
