Cedar Rapids, put the final points on the board.
Four stops. Two teams. One shared goal. Cedar Rapids is the final stop of LifeServe’s Border Battle Blood Drive Tour. Make a donation on our new bloodmobile and help finish the tour’s push to impact 300 lives for hospital patients.
LifeServe serves UnityPoint Health, St. Luke’s Cedar Rapids, connecting this final stop to patient care in the community.
Make blood donation part of game day.
Choose Iowa or Nebraska when you check in. Each person who donats earns one tour point for their team, even if they’re unable to donate that day. All donors will receive a limited-edition Border Battle T-shirt and scarf, right at the drive. After the tour, one person who voted for the winning team will win a $100 gift card.
New to giving blood? This could be the start of a tradition that lasts beyond football season. Our staff will guide you through the process.
