I wouldn't know that much because I'm too young to donate blood. But I do know some things from my Bio class! :D
To answer your question, yes, it is definitely healthy to donate blood. As long as you don't donate too much. Cons: If you donate too much, your body won't be able to get enough oxygen to preform cellular respiration (for energy), so you'll feel fatigued.. And I think it might be bad for your immune system too. But that's only if you donate too much. Pros: You could possibly save someone's life. AND you get cookies!
