The 16th annual Tyler Wilcox Memorial Guns and Hoses blood drive is underway today (Dec. 2) in Fort Pierre and moves to Pierre tomorrow and Friday.
Donors are encouraged to use the Fast Track Health History Questionnaire option on the Vitalant website to fill out their information, print the ticket and bring it with them when they arrive to give blood. The appointment schedule is full today and tomorrow, but there are still some time slots open on Friday (at Faith Lutheran Church in Pierre from 8am-2:30pm).
This year’s goal is to collect 420 units of blood. With one donation, you can impact up to three lives.
Earlier this year, The Tyler Wilcox Memorial Guns n’ Hoses Blood Drive received the America’s Blood Centers Blood Drive of the Year Award. The national recognition was given March 10 during the Awards of Excellence Banquet in Arlington, VA. ABC works with all blood donation companies in the US, except the American Red Cross.
Donors can schedule an appointment by:
- calling Vitalant at 605-225-7732
