MITCHELL, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) LifeServe Blood Center invites the community to this year’s Blood Donor Day in an effort to boost the community blood supply during the summer, often referred to as trauma season. LifeServe Blood Center provides blood and blood products to more than 160 hospitals primarily in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota.

The demand for blood surges during the summer months, fueled by increased accidents, surgeries, and medical emergencies. While we travel the tri-state area on tour, we’ll be impacting local lives along the way. With good friends and great jams, there’s nothing we can’t do together.

Get ready for rockin’ through the Midwest, rollin’ up your sleeves, and jammin’ out to the tune of saving a local life through your gift of blood donation. Join Betty and her bandmates (LifeServe phlebotomists) for an unforgettable experience this summer as you make a difference by donating blood. To schedule your lifesaving appointment, visit lifeserve.info/southdakotatix or call 800.287.4903.
