The Dickerson Park Zoo is celebrating its 100th birthday this year — and Community Blood Center of the Ozarks donors are invited to join the party. CBCO, the sole supplier of blood, platelets, and plasma to patients at 44 area healthcare facilities, is partnering with the Dickerson Park Zoo to help boost the region’s blood supply for local patients.
Go wild about saving lives and donate blood at the upcoming blood drive in Seymour on Monday, August 7, sponsored by the Seymour Lions Club. Each donation can help save the lives of up to three people in the Ozarks.
Successful donors will receive two free admissions to Dickerson Park Zoo, valued at $34. Zoo admission vouchers are valid through July 31, 2024. No other discounts or coupons apply. Donors will also receive a limited-edition zoo-themed T-shirt, while supplies last.
Community Blood Center of the Ozarks donors provide all the blood for patients at CoxHealth South, Mercy Hospital Springfield, Texas County Memorial Hospital, as well as dozens of healthcare facilities across the Ozarks.
Seymour area residents will have the opportunity to donate at the following location:
Seymour Community Blood Drive
Seymour Safe Room – Community Room 700 E. Clinton Avenue, Seymour Monday, August 7 2:00 p.m to 7:00 p.m.
