CBCO hosting blood drive at CMH Aug. 26

The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks urges donors to help increase the blood supply during the Be fabZOOlous blood drive from noon to 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26, in the community rooms of Citizens Memorial Hospital, 1500 N. Oakland Ave., Bolivar.

Successful donors will receive two vouchers for general admission to the Dickerson Park Zoo. All donors will be entered into a drawing for an additional fabZOOlous prize. Zoo admission vouchers are valid through July 31, 2023. No other discounts or coupons apply. Donors will also receive an exclusive “Be fabZOOlous” blood drive T-shirt, while supplies last.

CBCO is the sole supplier of blood, platelets and plasma to patients at 44 area healthcare facilities and provides all the blood for patients at CMH.

Giving blood is a fabZOOlous way to make a positive impact in your community. Each donation can help save the lives of up to three people in the Ozarks. On behalf of local hospital patients, Community Blood Center of the Ozarks thanks blood donors from across the region for giving life to your community.
