Be a Summer Hero

Sun's out. Sleeves up!

This summer make your mark by donating blood in the coolest way possible!

Join MKBC’s Bloodstravaganza and be part of this epic experience, win prizes, earn exclusive rewards, and help save lives! 

Blood donations typically decrease during the summer due to school breaks, increased travel and family vacations, combined with accidents and seasonal illnesses.

We’re calling all high school students to roll up their sleeve, donate blood, and earn cool rewards!  

Step Up. Donate. Get Rewarded.
