Versiti Blood Center of Ohio Blood Drive

Oct 11

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is partnering with Versiti Blood Center of Ohio to raise awareness about the need for lifesaving blood donations.

The spookiest blood drive of the year will be taking place at the Zoo’s Africa Event Center, located off the main parking lot, and run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Donors will be able to view our Heart of Africa habitat while donating and purchase of a Zoo ticket is not required to sign-up or donate. 

Why donate?

  • Donors will be able to view the Heart of Africa savanna while donating, and purchase of a Zoo ticket is not required to sign-up or donate. 
  • Donors will receive a FREE ticket to Zombiezi Bay and a pair of Halloween themed socks.

Requirements:

  • Anyone 17 years or older who is in general good health and meets eligibility requirements is encouraged to donate blood.
  • Parental consent is required for 16-year-olds to donate.
  • Appointments are preferred to ensure a quick and convenient donation, but walk-in donors are also welcome. The entire process takes about an hour.
