Donating blood is a great way to give back this holiday season, and donations are needed more than ever due to COVID-19.

In partnership with Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin, the Pabst Theater Group is hosting a blood drive at Turner Hall on Wednesday, Dec. 30 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

As a special thank you, all donors will receive a $10 e-gift card that can be redeemed at over 90+ vendors and will be able to choose a gift from the following partner vendors: Lowlands Group Restaurants, Colectivo Coffee, Marcus Theaters and Saint Kate.

Make your appointment online today for a socially distanced giving experience. Plus, by donating blood, the SARS CoV-2 antibody test will also be performed. The test will inform donors if they have antibodies reflective of a prior COVID-19 infection and is not to inform donors if they currently have COVID-19.  For more information see FDA.gov and Donor FAQs.  Donors with these antibodies may be eligible to donate COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP), a special type of donation used to treat sick patients fighting COVID.
