Swing for a Cure Foundation

07/27/2026

We are trying to get a blood drive set for Tyson later this fall. In the meantime please donate this Tuesday!

If you are unable to attend the drive, please make an appointment at a nearby donor center or mobile drive at savealifenow.org or by calling 877.468.6844.

Why blood donation is so important:
* Blood cannot be manufactured; we rely on healthy volunteer blood donors!
* Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion
* One blood donation takes just one hour and can save up to three lives
* More than 60% of the population is eligible to donate, but only 3% do
* CBC needs to collect 600 pints per day to serve over 68+ hospitals in 65 counties in KS and MO
* Donors are eligible starting at age 16 (with parental consent) and weigh at least 110 lbs. (extra height/weight requirements for 16-18 yr. olds)
