"We are honored to partner with OBI and Osage Casino in hosting the summer blood drive and to help those in need with blood supplies for our community," said Steve Swetoha, Tulsa Shock President, "This is another great opportunity for our organization to help."
Anyone who is healthy and 16 years of age* can usually give blood, and donations can be made every 56 days. Health screenings and Donor Rewards points, redeemable in OBI's online store, are also provided to donors.
Through a special initiative to support the Global Blood Fund (GBF), any donor can forgo the OBI T-shirt offered in appreciation for giving. In turn, funds so designated will then be contributed to GBF for supplies and equipment for blood centers in the world's poorest countries.
