American Red Cross Blood Drive

media release: You have the power to save lives. Each day, thousands of people provide compassionate care to those in need by donating blood. You can do the same. Members of the community are invited to Overture Center’s annual American Red Cross Blood Drive in Overture Hall Lobby on Wednesday, April 10 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Appointments are recommended and can be scheduled online (from the event page, click the red Register button in the left column).

"Overture's mission is centered on bolstering our community's creative culture, economy and quality of life through the arts,” said Communications Director Shari Gasper. “Opening our beautiful facility to the American Red Cross and its donors stands as a significant step towards achieving this goal. By doing so, we can directly impact the well-being of numerous individuals within our community who require blood. We invite those working, residing or visiting downtown Madison to join us in saving lives through blood donation.”

As a thank you for supporting our blood drive, blood donors will receive a promo code for 10-25% off select 2023/24 season shows and will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a pair of tickets to MOMIX Alice on Tuesday, April 16.

In addition, donors giving blood to the American Red Cross between April 8-28 will receive a $10 gift card by email to a merchant of choice.
