We invite all our Chicago-area friends to join us at the Marqus Valentine Celebration of Life Blood Drive. To honor Marqus’s birthday (July 25) and his love for the sickle cell community, we ask you to consider being a blood donor at this event. If you are not in the Chicago area, you can also look for blood donor events in your area to honor our winged warrior.
Blood donations, especially from Black donors, have always been vital for the sickle cell disease community but this need has increased even more throughout the pandemic. This event is in partnership with Versiti Blood Center.
Appointments are appreciated, but walk-ins are welcome. Schedule a time: HERE
Be sure to eat a full, healthy meal before & remember to be extra hydrated starting 24 hours before. PHOTO ID REQUIRED.
