World Blood Donor Day

Hoxworth Blood Center, University of Cincinnati, celebrates World Blood Donor Day on Fountain Square to raise awareness on the importance of blood donation in our community. Mayor Aftab Pureval will present Hoxworth Blood Center with a proclamation at 11:40AM on Fountain Square (corner of Fifth and Vine streets) to pay tribute to Hoxworth as the steward of the region’s blood supply that supports and saves lives of patients at more than 30 local hospitals. Hoxworth will have a booth and pass out information and Busken cookies to bring greater awareness of the ongoing need for blood and platelet donors, as well as the need for diversity in our blood supply.
