LifeServe Blood Center is excited to announce that Blood Donor Day is back and bigger than ever! This year, we’re holding Blood Donor Days and extending the celebration of our blood donors to the entire month of June.  

Summer is a critical time for hospitals and patients, as demand for blood goes up while supply dips due to summer travel and routines being disrupted. That’s why LifeServe, a Community Blood Center, needs generous blood donors to step up and keep the blood supply stocked all summer long.  

All June long, LifeServe blood donors at any mobile drive or donor center will not only walk away from donating knowing they saved or impacted up to three lives, but they'll also get our exclusive Blood Donor Days summer t-shirt and be automatically entered to win a weekly prize package. Those donors can also enter to win our grand prize: two lucky donors will win a pair of 4-day passes to Hinterland Music Festival, happening July 30-August 2 in St. Charles, Iowa – featuring music acts like Katseye, Lorde, Mumford & Sons, and more.

In addition, anyone who gives blood at a LifeServe donor center in June will get a scratchoff ticket with a chance to score local gift cards and prizes.

"We know our generous blood donors don't give just for prizes or rewards, but we also want to show them how grateful we are for helping save lives in their communities," said Tim Paluch, LifeServe Blood Center PR & Marketing Director. "And we're going all out to bring donors in, with tens of thousands of dollars of rewards and giveaways to show our appreciation. Let’s work together to save lives this summer."
