KOSI 101.1 is teaming up with Colorado’s primary nonprofit blood services provider Vitalant (formerly Bonfils Blood Center) to host the Bonneville Media Blood Drive on Tuesday, September 3, in Greenwood Village.

Blood donors are needed to help replenish the blood supply, especially for type O which dipped to emergency levels this summer. All blood types are critically needed, especially type O – the most transfused type. Platelets are also constantly in demand to help cancer patients, people with blood disorders, open-heart surgeries and organ transplants.

Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. To make an appointment at the Bonneville Media Blood Drive, click here or visit donors.vitalant.org and enter blood drive code: 1895.

All donors who give at Vitalant August 30-September 4 will receive an exclusive ‘Super Donor’ t-shirt through their Donor Rewards program, plus a $10 gift card of your choice via the Donor Rewards program, while supplies last. Learn more: vitalant.org/Super80sDonor

Vitalant has served more Colorado patients than any other blood center since 1943 and is the blood provider for over 95 percent of Colorado hospitals. Make an appointment near you by using the Vitalant mobile app, visiting vitalant.org or calling 877-25-VITAL.
