There are several opportunities to donate blood in the Grady County area in September. 

Starting Sept. 1, eligible blood donors will receive a limited-edition, glow-in-the-dark “Got Guts?” T-shirt and one free entry to the OKC Zoo.

“Vein Drain is all about having fun with all things Halloween, but the reality is, every two seconds someone needs blood to see tomorrow,” said Dr. John Armitage, president and CEO of Our Blood Institute. “By giving just an hour of your time, you can save the lives of up to three patients in immediate need or going through treatment at our local hospitals.”

Anyone who is healthy and 16 years old* or older can give blood. Blood can be donated every 56 days and platelets can be given as often as every seven days, up to 24 times a year.

Appointments to donate can be made online at obi.org or by calling 877-340-8777.
