The American Red Cross brings 3-day blood drive to the Milwaukee County Zoo June 27-29

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- During the summer months, blood and platelet donations often do not keep pace with hospital demand, and it has a huge impact on those in need.

The American Red Cross is teaming up with the Milwaukee Radio Alliance and the Milwaukee County Zoo for the 17th annual, three-day blood drive that will run June 27-29 at the Zoo’s Peck Center, located at 10001 W. Bluemound Road.  

All presenting donors will receive free admission and parking to the Zoo and a slew of other free giveaways.

Appointments are strongly encouraged. Walk-ins will be allowed if space permits. You can sign up to donate blood here using code MKE Zoo.
