SAVE LIVES. DONATE DOWNTOWN.

Every 56 days, we partner with Memorial Blood Centers to host blood drives, giving eligible donors in downtown Duluth a convenient, safe and comfortable opportunity to support patients and their families.

DONATE DOWNTOWN is a coalition of Twin Ports businesses dedicated to promoting the importance and impact of blood donation in our community.

Every 56 days, we host mobile blood drives with Memorial Blood Centers, giving eligible donors in downtown Duluth a convenient, safe and comfortable opportunity to support patients and their families.

BE A HERO

62% of people in the U.S. are eligible to donate
blood, but only 3% actually do. The #1 reason
people don’t donate is that they were never asked.

So, we’re asking:

Will you join us at our next blood drive and help provide a lifeline to local patients?
