Cardinals Blood Drive

Each year, the Cardinals team up with Bally Sports Midwest and the American Red Cross to help save lives by encouraging fans to donate blood at the annual St. Louis Cardinals Blood Drive.

Since the drive’s inception in 2004, more than 19,000 blood donations have been collected during the summer drive, which comes at a critical time of year for the Red Cross when donations are low. Those who have a desire to help others can step up to the plate and help save lives by participating in our next event.
