American Red Cross Blood Drive

Overview

The Minnesota Wild, in partnership with the American Red Cross and HealthPartners, have announced they will host a blood drive at Xcel Energy Center on Tuesday, Feb. 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in celebration of Black History Month. The Minnesota Wild hope to raise awareness about the need for a diverse blood supply, especially to help sickle cell patients which affects one out of every 365 Black or African American births. One in three African American blood donors are a match for people with sickle cell disease.
