Need a Halloween costume idea? Be a life-saver!
Join YMCA of the Northern Sky and the American Red Cross for our Halloween Blood Drive!
Each pint of blood we collect can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of so many more. What a great way to pay it forward and make an impact on people in our community at a time when they need our help the most.
8am - 2pm on Halloween Day in the Fercho (downtown) YMCA.
All donors will receive a $10 e-gift card and be entered in a drawing to possibly win $5,000 compliments of the American Red Cross.
This event is open to all members of our community 16+
