🩸 URGENT CALL FOR BLOOD DONORS – WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🩸
Local hospitals throughout the Coachella Valley and surrounding desert communities currently have less than a one-week supply of blood available to meet patient needs. Every blood type is urgently needed, and O negative blood is especially critical as it is the universal donor type used in trauma situations and medical emergencies.
The Rotary Club of Palm Springs Sunup and LifeStream Blood Bank invite you to roll up your sleeve and help save lives at our upcoming community blood drive:
📅 Saturday, July 18, 2026
⏰ 9:00am – 2:00pm
📍 Mizell Center
480 S. Sunrise Way, Palm Springs
The reality is that 1 in 4 people will need a blood transfusion at some point in their lives due to surgery, illness, cancer treatment, or an unexpected accident. The hour you spend donating could mean a lifetime for someone else.
As a thank you for your lifesaving gift, all presenting donors will receive a commemorative T-shirt and a $25 Target gift card! Walk-ins are welcome, though appointments are encouraged. Please bring a valid photo ID and be feeling healthy and well on the day of donation.
📞 To schedule your donation, call 800-879-4484 or visit lstream.org/mizell.
❤️ Please share this post with your family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. Together, we can help replenish our local blood supply and save lives right here in our community.
