Annual Blood Drive at the International Rally
Airstream owners and their families, with little doubt, are some of the most helpful, giving, and community-focused individuals. We are thrilled to announce our 3rd Airstream Club International Rally Blood Drive during your visit to Sedalia for the 67th International Rally. Three days are set aside, five hours each, to accommodate as best we can your travels, schedules, and rally enjoyment.
This year’s Blood Drive is set for October 7-9 and is hosted by Region 9.
The agency supporting our Blood Drive is Community Blood Center Kansas City (CBC).
Community Blood Center Kansas City provides blood products to more than 70 hospitals in the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area, eastern Kansas and western Missouri. One of the benefits of donating with a local agency like CBC is the blood collected primarily stays in the communities they serve.
This year, armed with our prior success, we are partnering with CBC to see if we can exceed 180 units of blood in 2024.
