We had an outstanding turnout for the Blood Drive on Wednesday, June 3!
Let’s do it again Thursday, August 6, with even more participants!
The last 2026 Blood Drive on Fishers will be Thursday, August 6, following the success of the 2025 drives. Last year, we donated over 30 pints at each drive, which is helping over 180 people!
This summer, in addition to being able to donate a regular pint, CTBC will be offering double red cell donations as well. Three of the 31 donors on June 3 participated in this. CTBC’s webpage has more information on this option: Double Red Cell Donations.
Blood donated on Fishers is used to serve the hospitals in Connecticut and Rhode Island that we all rely on – Lawrence & Memorial, Yale New Haven, Hartford Health, Westerly Hospital, and more.
Let’s make the On-Island Blood Drives in 2026 a huge success!
- Everyone who donates in June may donate again on August 8*!
- When you make an appointment, make one with a friend!
- *Individuals may donate blood every 8 weeks; Double Red Cell donors, every 4 months.
