Are you ready to wrangle up some good? Saddle up and donate blood with Our Blood Institute this March and April to help save lives!
Starting March 1, 2025, successful Our Blood Institute donors will receive a limited-edition cowboy- themed T-shirt, while supplies last.* Plus, every week in March, all donors will be entered to win a cowboy hat of your choice!
And we know you can’t go knockin’ around the ranch without a good pair of boots - that’s why every week in April, donors will have a chance to win a pair of cowboy boots!
Our Blood Institute will hold a blood drive with Northfork Electric Cooperative on Thursday, March 27th, from 9:30am – 1:00pm. Look for the bloodmobile at Northfork Electric.
“Just like cowboys look out for their herd, we’re calling on our community to look out for their neighbors,” said Dr. John Armitage, president and CEO of Our Blood Institute. “By rolling up your sleeve and giving blood, you’re lending a hand to patients and families who need your help. It’s a small act that shows the true spirit of neighborly care and generosity.”
Anyone who is healthy and 16 years old* or older can give blood.Donation typically takes only about an hour, and one donation saves up to three lives. Appointments to donate can be made online at obi. org or by calling 877-3408777. Walk-ins are also welcome.
