All blood donations from this blood drive will benefit Colton Pursglove, our 3 year old friend, that is battling with Leukemia. Please remind the blood mobile staff to use code CP20 when you donate. 

As of October 1, 2022, based on CDC’s latest guidance, San Diego Blood Bank does not requires staff, volunteers, blood donors, vendors, contractors, and visitors to wear a face mask inside its facilities or while donating blood. Those who wish to wear a mask may do so freely. Currently all blood types are in short supply.
