Blood Drive

FRYfest and UI Health Care are hosting a blood drive with the DeGowin Blood Center from 9am – 1pm located in Oakdale Ballroom 1 & 2. This is a kick-off to both FRYfest and Season 2 of the Abbott/Big Ten We Give Blood competition. The school with the most blood donations this football season will win a $1 million grant that goes toward student health. Last year we came in sixth place – help the University of Iowa win this year and save lives at the same time!  There will be a special edition “Hawkeyes Give Blood” t-shirt for all successful donations. Donors who make an appointment ahead of time will receive a free ticket to the 2025 High Porch Block Party Concert featuring The Pork Tornadoes. Make an appointment today to help the Hawkeyes win and to save lives right here in Iowa. All blood collected will be used to support UI Health Care and Stead Family Children’s Hospital patients. Appointments can be made below!
