Make a splash, Donate with Our Blood Institute

Get ready to dive in and make waves! Make a splash by donating blood with Our Blood Institute this May and June to help save lives!

Successful Our Blood Institute donors will receive a limitededition shark-themed T-shirt, while supplies last.* Plus, donors will get their choice of one free ticket to either Frontier City or Hurricane Harbor! “Just like sharks never stop swimming, the need for blood donations never stops,” said Dr. John Armitage, president and CEO of Our Blood Institute. “By rolling up your sleeve, you’re making a lifesaving impact for patients in need. It’s a simple act of generosity that keeps our community strong.”

There’s no shortage of fun at OKC’s Frontier City Theme Park! Experience thrilling coasters, dining, shopping, attractions and more for kids, adults and everyone in between! Adrenaline junkies won’t resist taking a ride on the classic Wildcat wooden roller coaster or the Silver Bullet’s high-speeds coaster. Not one for thrill rides? Take a ride around the Grand Centennial Ferris Wheel or drive back in time with Tin Lizzy’s electricpowered, antique cars.

Looking to cool off as the season heats up? Look no further than Six Flags Hurricane Harbor for pulsepounding water slides, relaxing lazy rivers and family-friendly play areas. There’s something for the whole family at Hurricane Harbor!

Anyone who is healthy and 16 years old* or older can give blood. Donation typically takes only about an hour, and one donation saves up to three lives. Appointments to donate can be made online at obi.org or by calling 877-340-8777. Walk-ins are also welcome.

*16-year-olds must weigh at least 125 pounds and provide signed parental permission; 17-year-olds must weigh at least 125 pounds; 18+ year olds must weigh at least 110 pounds. Photo ID required.
