GreatLIFE Golf & Fitness will host several blood drives in the coming weeks.

“There’s always a need for blood, and that became especially pronounced during the pandemic,” GreatLIFE president Nick Ovenden said. “We encourage everyone, GreatLIFE member or not, to stop out and give this priceless gift to others.”

GreatLIFE has scheduled blood drives at multiple locations and different times to maximize convenience.

There will be two events supporting the Sioux Falls Community Blood Bank, which keeps all donated blood local. The first is from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday at the Performance Center, 69th Street and Southeastern Avenue. To register, click here. 

The next opportunity to give blood will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Aug. 13 at Willow Run Golf Course. To register, click here. 

“Please considering stopping out and donating,” Ovenden said. “It’s a simple but powerful way to make a difference.”

Note: A previous version of this story included information about a blood drive from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 17 in the lounge area at Woodlake, 4600 S. Tennis Lane. That blood drive is administered by the American Red Cross, which includes a COVID-19 antibody test with all its blood drives. This blood drive is now full.
