Blood drive Oct. 2 on Downtown Square

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The City of Fayetteville will host a blood drive Wednesday, Oct. 2, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Downtown Square.

The blood drive is being held in partnership with Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO), which will have its "Bloodmobile" on hand to collect donations.

As a thank you, donors will receive a free Kansas City Chiefs T-shirt and can enter for a chance to win two tickets to a Chiefs game.

Appointments are strongly encouraged to manage donor flow. Schedule your appointment online at: https://donor.cbco.org/index.php/drive-list?view=servicesearch&id_service=41.

CBCO provides blood and plasma to all Northwest Arkansas area hospitals. Local donors are needed to continue to provide for local patients.

CBCO has a QuickPass system that saves time for donors by allowing them to start the registration process before arriving. To access QuickPass and complete health history questions online the day of the blood drive, go to: https://www.cbco.org/quickpass.
