All blood and platelet donors who roll up a sleeve on Thursday, August 31 at any of Hoxworth’s seven Neighborhood Donor Center’s will receive the limited-edition 2023 WEBN T-shirt plus the opportunity to win front row VIP tickets to the fireworks.
“Hoxworth Blood Center is always thrilled to partner with WEBN as this annual event holds a special place in the heart of the greater Cincinnati community,” said David Oh, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Hoxworth Blood Center. “As we approach the end of summer, the demand for blood remains high while donations have decreased, and we need donors to roll up a sleeve this month to help local patients.”
Additionally, WEBN DJ’s will be visiting Hoxworth’s Ft. Mitchell, Blue Ash, Tri-County and Central (Clifton) locations the day of the event on August 31.
Hoxworth’s seven locations are located in Anderson, Blue Ash, Central (Clifton), Ft. Mitchell, North (Mason), Tri-County, and West (Western Hills).
