Friday, July 23, 2021 - Vian's first responders are looking for citizens to support their efforts through blood donation with Oklahoma Blood Institute. Those who give at the Boots & Badges blood drive on Friday, July 30th, will provide blood needed to save local lives, such as those that firefighters and law enforcement officers save every day.
Healthy adults are urged to give blood at the Marvin’s IGA on the bloodmobile between 1 to 6 p.m. All donors will receive special-edition Boots & Badges T-shirt and their choice of one free entry voucher to Frontier City Theme Park or Science Museum Oklahoma in Oklahoma City or two free entry vouchers to Safari Joe’s H20 Water and Adventure Park in Tulsa, to be redeemed at yourbloodinstitute.org.
By giving blood at this drive, donors will show their support for the firefighters and law enforcement officers who serve their community.
“Vian’s first responders see the daily need for blood first-hand when the people they rescue require life-saving treatment,” said John Armitage, M.D., President & CEO of Oklahoma Blood Institute. “We can’t say enough about the service our police officers and firefighters provide, and we owe it to them to do our part in making sure blood is available in emergency situations.”
Appointments for the blood drive may be made by calling 1-877-340-8777 or visiting obi.org.
