Date: March 17, 2023
Time: 8:45 AM - 12:00 PM MDT
Event Description:

 

Donating blood doesn't take long or cost money, but it makes a big difference. Every year at Children's Hospital Colorado, sick and injured kids receive more than 8,000 units of lifesaving blood products. 

We need at least 28 donors on the schedule to meet the surgery and transfusion needs of our patients. 

The process takes about 45 minutes total, from arrival, paperwork, a brief interview to the actual blood draw. If you are able to donate, please select an appointment time on the sign-up below.

Wearing a mask will be required for all donors and staff while on the mobile bus.

The pool is restricted to children between the ages of 3-13 years of age. 

Please review the eligibility questions below. If your answer is YES to any to the following statements, you might not be eligible to donate. Please call (720) 777-5398 to review your eligibility.
