Successful donors will receive a limited-edition “Camp Donor” T-shirt, one free ticket to Frontier City or Hurricane Harbor

This summer, roll up your sleeves and join the ultimate camp adventure — no bug spray required! Our Blood Institute invites you to become a Camp Donor by giving blood in July or August.

All successful donors will receive a limited-edition “Camp Donor” T-shirt featuring a retro summer camp design, an exclusive Camp Donor badge (a collectible sticker perfect for your water bottle, laptop, or camp trunk), and choice of one free ticket to either Frontier City or Hurricane Harbor.

“Summer is a season of adventure — and saving lives can be one of the most rewarding adventures of all,” said Dr. John Armitage, president and CEO of Our Blood Institute. “Camp Donor is a fun way for people to celebrate summer while helping others. When you donate blood, you’re giving patients in our hospitals a second chance at life.”

Anyone who is healthy and 16 years old or older can give blood. Those 16 to 18 must meet minimum weight requirements, and 16 year olds must have signed parental permission to donate.

Donation typically takes only about an hour, and one donation saves up to three lives. Appointments to donate can be made online at obi.org or by calling 877340-8777. Walk-ins are also welcome.
