2024 WKYT Blood Drive Sept. 11–12

Boost the Blood Supply After Difficult Summer

KBC Fight Cancer T-shirt, Chick-fil-A coupon and Donut Days logo.

Kentucky Blood Center and WKYT are proud to partner for the 2024 WKYT Blood Drive.

Donate blood Sept. 11-12 at any of KBC's five Central Kentucky locations (Beaumont, Andover, Tri-County [Corbin], Frankfort or Somerset) and help boost the blood supply after a diffcult summer for blood collections. Appointment links are below.

Between warm-weather activities, family vacations and no school, summer historically leads to lower donor turnout as need remains consistent and often increases.

All donors who give blood Sept. 11-12 at the participating donors centers will receive a KBC "Fight Cancer" T-shirt and treats from sponsors Chick-fil-A and Donut Days. All promotions are while supplies last!
