KLOS has partnered with The American Red Cross again for the 44th Annual Blood Drive on Friday, August 1st, and Saturday, August 2nd, at several locations throughout Southern California. 

The blood products collected at this blood drive will help treat kids battling cancer, accident victims being rushed to emergency rooms, individuals experiencing extreme sickle cell disease pain, and patients with complicated childbirths. As a thank-you, all presenting donors will also receive a limited-edition, commemorative 2025 95.5 KLOS Blood Drive T-shirt while supplies last.

We need you, KLOS listeners! The Red Cross is experiencing a severe blood shortage as the number of trauma cases, organ transplants, and elective surgeries rise – and deplete the nation’s blood inventory. There is great hospital demand for blood as patients are scheduled for surgeries. Hospitals are also responding to an atypically high number of traumas and emergency room visits. KLOS listeners can help by donating blood to help ensure hospital patients receive the blood products they need. Blood is perishable and cannot be manufactured or stockpiled—it can only come from generous donors like KLOS listeners rolling up a sleeve to help. An hour of your time this summer can truly help save a life.
