Border Battle Blood Drive Tour

Last Updated on October 14, 2026

The rivalry is hitting the road.

This Thanksgiving week, take your team pride beyond the football field. LifeServe’s Border Battle Bus Tour is traveling from Nebraska to Iowa for four mobile blood drives, November 23–27. Our new bloodmobile is making the trip with one shared goal: collect 100 units of blood for local hospitals and patients.

Choose Iowa or Nebraska at any tour stop. Every donation earns one point for their team. We’ll tally the scores throughout the trip to see which team brings in the most donors.

As a thank-you, everyone who donates at a tour stop receives a limited-edition Border Battle T-shirt and a scarf, right at the drive. At the end of the trip, the one winner from the winning team will receive a $100 gift card!

First-time donors are welcome. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or simply ready to help your neighbors, there’s a place for you on this tour.

Your team gets the point. Your neighbors get the support. Pick your stop and make blood donation part of your game-week plans.
