The Blue Blood Drive will be held in honor of the more than 200 Arkansas law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty in state history.
C.O.P.S. is a national nonprofit organization who provides resources to the families and co-workers of the 140-160 law enforcement officers who die in the line of duty every year. Blue Blood Drives like this one are a chance to come together and donate blood in honor of the law enforcement officers who sacrifice so much for their communities.

The CBCO is the sole provider of blood, platelets and plasma to over 40 hospitals in northwest Arkansas, southwest Missouri and southeast Kansas. One donation can help save the lives of three people in these hospitals.
