The annual “Heroes Game” rivalry is battle for gridiron supremacy between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Nebraska Cornhuskers the day after Thanksgiving, but it’s also an annual event that honors acts of heroism in hometowns in both states. And one of the easiest acts of true hometown heroism is donating blood to help local patients in your communities.

Donate at any Iowa donor center (plus the Yankton, South Dakota donor center) on November 25, 26 or 28 and you’ll not only be a hero to patients in need of lifesaving blood, but you’ll also get our new, exclusive I Bleed Football t-shirt.

Be a Hero. Be a Blood Donor.
