Our annual blood drive with We Are Blood will be on Saturday 7/18/26 from 9am-1130am. This year, it will be in the South Parking lot of the business building at 7800 Shoal Creek Blvd, Austin, TX 78757 (map attached). Register to donate blood here.
We are excited to also have NMDP (formerly Be The Match) join us and register those that may be eligible for the blood stem cell donor registry! If you or others are anticipating signing up for the donor registry, please fill out this interest form so we can have an idea of how many people to expect.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate in this event (CTONS members, family, friends, coworkers, etc) so feel free to forward it on to those that may want to join!
Below are eligibility requirements for blood donation and the donor registry (please review). A formal event invite will be sent out once provided by We Are Blood.
