The Indianapolis Colts and Indiana Blood Center would like to invite you to Indiana’s largest single-day blood drive - our annual Bleed Blue Blood Drive and Health Fair, presented by CardioChek and supported by ADVANTAGE Health Solutions and WTHR Channel 13. This year we are excited to announce that the event will be moved to a Saturday to make it more convenient for Indiana families to attend.
The 2011 Bleed Blue Blood Drive and Health Fair is scheduled for Saturday, December 10, from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at Lucas Oil Stadium. Similar to previous years, the 2011 blood drive will include a free health fair and other family-friendly activities to create an informative and fun experience for all who attend. There will be opportunities to tour the field, chances to win prizes, and appearances by Colts Cheerleaders and Blue, the official mascot of the Colts.
Appointments for the 2011 Bleed Blue Blood Drive at Lucas Oil Stadium are now FULL. However, the Colts and Indiana Blood Center are still inviting fans to come down and enjoy all of the free activities planned for the day! Parking is free for everyone.
