DONATE BLOOD

Aaron Goddard was a decorated Springfield, Missouri, firefighter — and prior to that, he worked at Community Blood Center of the Ozarks. After a cancer diagnosis claimed his life in 2015, his family established this annual blood drive as a way to remember Aaron while helping others.

The 9th Annual Aaron Goddard Memorial Blood Drive is scheduled for:

Thursday, August 17, 2023
8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
220 W. Plainview Road
Springfield, Missouri

A hero to all he served, Aaron made a profound impact on the fireground, in the firehouse and as a friend, mentor, husband, father and pillar of this community. Join us to donate blood in Aaron’s memory.

All successful blood donors will receive:
