We're thrilled to announce this year’s STOP THE BLEED® Day and STOP THE BLEED® Month programs, as well as all of the activities available for individuals and organizations to participate in through the STOP THE BLEED® Project Program.
This year's STOP THE BLEED® Day is scheduled for Thursday, May 21, 2026, during EMS Week.
This year, we have a number of activities to engage the public and the growing STOP THE BLEED® community, including the second annual STOP THE BLEED® Trainathon using the STOP THE BLEED® Training Management System. Other activities include our annual STOP THE BLEED® Training Kit Grant Program, the popular Raise Your Hand and Would You Know social media programs, a STOP THE BLEED® Quiz, STOP THE BLEED® videos and ways everyone can help to create more awareness of the campaign.
As we celebrate our 9th annual STOP THE BLEED® Day, we mark 9 years of celebrating the STOP THE BLEED® movement, a movement that has trained millions, equipped communities, and strengthened emergency preparedness across the world.
That time represents dedication, progress, and lives saved.
But in an emergency, the clock resets.
When someone is bleeding, minutes, not years, determine the outcome.
As we mark nearly a decade of action, we're reminded that the mission remains the same: Minutes Matter.
