A total of 125 units of blood were collected yesterday (Mon.) during the first day of the 14th annual Tyler Wilcox Memorial Guns and Hoses blood drive in Pierre and Fort Pierre.
After day one, Team Hoses is leading Team Guns 78-44. Last year, for only the 2nd time in the drive’s history, Team Guns beat Team Hoses by a score of 196 to 157.
Those who’d like to donate blood may do so:
- Tuesday from 11:30am-6pm at the Pierre Faith Lutheran Church
- Wednesday from 8am-2:30pm at the Pierre Faith Lutheran Church
Last year, the blood drive’s goal was 355 units of blood over the three day event. This year’s goal is 365 units.
Over 2000 units have been collected during this drive since it began in 2005.
Just walk in to donate. If you do want to make an appointment, you may do that online at vitalant.org.
