Memorial Blood Centers is asking community members to give thanks this November by rolling up a sleeve and making a life-saving donation. Plus, all presenting donors during November will be automatically entered to win one of five pairs of tickets to a Minnesota Wild game this season. Donors can visit MBC.ORG/WILD for more information.
You may be eligible to donate blood if you are:
* In good health.
* 17 years or older—16 with written parental consent (PDF).
* Free of antibiotics for 24 hours, unless taken for preventative reasons.
* Symptom-free for at least 72 hours following a cold or flu.
While walk-in donors are always welcome, we encourage donors to make appointments in advance. Visit MBC.ORG to find your nearest community blood drive or donor center, or to make an appointment at one of the following public blood drives.
