Hit a Home Run for Local Patients at the Iowa Cubs Blood Drive on August 7!
Looking for a way to make a big impact in your community this summer? Step up to the plate and join LifeServe and the Iowa Cubs for a special blood drive at Principal Park on Thursday, August 7, from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Every blood donation has the potential to save up to three lives, making your donation the ultimate triple. Whether your blood helps a trauma patient, cancer patient, surgery patient, or someone battling a chronic illness, your generosity can make a life-changing difference for local hospital patients who rely on blood transfusions every day.
Summer is one of the most challenging times of the year for maintaining a stable blood supply. Vacations, travel schedules, and busy summer activities often lead to fewer donations, while hospital demand remains constant. By donating blood at this special event, you'll help ensure that area hospitals have the lifesaving blood products they need when patients need them most.

As a thank-you for donating, all eligible donors will receive a free event t-shirt and a ticket to an Iowa Cubs game at the time of their donation.
The fun doesn't stop there. After your donation, stick around and enjoy official Principal Park hotdogs and snacks while celebrating the difference you've made for local patients and families.
Donors will also be entered for a chance to experience one of Principal Park's most unique game-day traditions...the opportunity to shoot the famous hotdog gun during an Iowa Cubs game this season!
