August & September

The Dickerson Park Zoo is celebrating its 100th birthday this year — and Community Blood Center of the Ozarks donors are invited to join the party!
While supplies last, anyone who donates blood, plasma or platelets to CBCO between August 1 and September 30, will receive a free T-shirt and a voucher redeemable for TWO FREE GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS to the Dickerson Park Zoo in Springfield, Missouri — a $34 value!
Note: Zoo admission tickets valid through July 31, 2024. No other discounts or coupons apply.
October & November

You can donate whole blood, the most common type of donation procedure, once every 56 days.
Once you become eligible to donate again, come back and give between October 1 and November 30. All successful donors during these two months will receive a special Kansas City Chiefs “3X Champs” T-shirt, while supplies last!
Plus, all October and November donors can enter for a chance to win two tickets and a parking pass to Kansas City’s December 31, 2023, game against Cincinnati — an $870 value!
Note: Information about how to enter the ticket drawing can be found at blood drives and centers.
