The 19th annual Game for Life Blood Drive is Community Blood Center of the Ozarks’ largest Arkansas area blood drive, celebrating both Razorbacks basketball and the lifesaving efforts of area blood donors.
This year, Arkansas fans will compete for the most blood donors with fans representing the University of Tennessee and MEDIC Blood Center. The Hogs will have the chance to beat the Volunteers on the court and then in the blood drive as well.
Each participant at any Game for Life drive will receive a custom red event t-shirt with the Razorbacks logo. Participants will also receive free pizza from Papa John’s.
To donate blood, you must::
- Be at least 16 years old (16 year olds need written parental permission to donate)
