The San Diego Automotive Museum is once again teaming up with the San Diego Blood Bank for their annual blood drive. The drive will take place on Saturday, March 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the back lot of the San Diego Auto Museum known as “The Grove.” Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome, on an availability basis. Appointments can be made at this link: https://www.mysdbb.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/76348. Last year, the San Diego Automotive Museum blood drive saved 36 lives, thanks to its donors. This year, they are looking to save even more, with help from the local community. Every donor will receive a free family membership to the museum to explore the ever-changing exhibits of automotive history. Barona Speedway driver, Sunny Trent, will also be doing meet-and-greets the day of the blood drive. Because of blood donors, local patients receive the lifesaving care they need and hope for a healthy life. Read stories about blood recipients in Southern California and their families and how, together, they survived health obstacles and illnesses, and overcame serious traumas with blood transfusions. All blood types are needed. San Diego Blood Bank must collect more than 350 units of blood each day to meet the needs of local patients who are battling life-threatening blood disorders and cancers, suffering from traumas such as burns or serious accidents, or even complications from childbirth. One pint of blood can save up to three lives.
