This Friday, September 19th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., locals and visitors alike are invited to roll up their sleeves and donate blood during the OneBlood Blood Drive at Alys Beach. In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the iconic Big Red Bus will be parked near The Della and Citizen, turning this chic stretch of Scenic Highway 30-A into a place of hope and healing.

Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood, and yet, only 3% of eligible donors actually give. This is your chance to change that stat while making a direct impact on the lives of children and families battling cancer.

Appointments are encouraged and help minimize wait times. Please use Sponsor Code: 39684

Besides the warm glow of doing good, all donors will receive:

• A $20 eGift Card (redeemable at Target, Amazon, Walmart & more)
• A limited edition Cancer Awareness “Support Squad” T-shirt
• A free wellness check including blood pressure, pulse, temperature, iron count, and cholesterol screening

Enhanced health protocols will be in place to ensure a safe, comfortable donation experience. OneBlood staff follow strict sanitation and distancing measures throughout the process.
