ImpactLife and St. Louis classic rock radio station KSHE 95 are getting the band back together for another KSHE Summer Blood Drive. It's one of the nation’s largest blood drives, and set to take place July 11 and 12, providing essential support for our region’s blood supply at a critical time of year.
The KSHE 95 Summer Blood Drive will help blood inventory levels recover from donations lost at Fourth of July weekend by providing more than 2000 donations given at nine locations over two days across the St. Louis region.
KSHE Summer Blood Drive -- July 11 & 12, 18, and 25
Friday: 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. | Saturday: 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Locations across the St. Louis region, see www.bloodcenter.org/KSHE.
Appointments are preferred, but not required. Walk-in donors may need to wait during busy periods at the blood drive. To schedule a donation, call (800) 747-5401 or use the ImpactLife mobile app (www.bloodcenter.org/app).

All presenting donors will receive our limited edition KSHE T-Shirt (right) and entry into a prize drawing for a pair of tickets to the KSHE Rock & Roll Fantasy concert, August 31 at Saint Louis Music Park! (Special guests The Hard Promises – A Tribute to Tom Petty and Breakfast In America – A Supertramp Celebration.) One winner will be chosen for a pair of tickets from each blood drive location.
The KSHE Summer Blood Drive was first held in 1984 to help support the blood supply during this critical time of year. Since that time, the KSHE listening audience has become a reliable base of support for the blood supply during the summer and holiday season, with nearly 5000 listeners participating in the July and December blood drives every year.
