ImpactLife donor center locations will be open on Memorial Day (May 25) to help ensure the region's blood supply remains strong and stable through the holiday weekend. To thank those who give blood during this critical time of year, all donors who give May 25 through May 31 will be entered in a drawing for Fairway Club passes for concert performances scheduled for July 4 or 5 (winner's choice) at the John Deere Classic golf tournament held in Silvis, Illinois.

To book an appointment to give blood, call (800) 747-5401, or schedule online at www.bloodcenter.org, or via the ImpactLife mobile app (www.bloodcenter.org/app).

As is typical for this time of year, ImpactLife has experienced a decrease in the rate of donation due to the Memorial Day holiday and the end of the school year, when blood drives at high schools, colleges and universities cannot be held. The blood center is enhancing its Donor Rewards through June 7 to share its appreciation for those who take time to give blood during this critical time of year.
