Help Save Lives at the Quad Cities Pints and Paws Blood Drive

In the 2 minutes it takes to feed your pet, 60 units of blood may be transfused to patients in need across the country. To help maintain the blood supply and save lives while giving back to local humane societies; the American Red Cross, WQAD News 8, and Townsquare Media have partnered with QC Paws, the Quad Cities Animal Welfare Center, the Humane Society of Scott County and King’s Harvest Pet Rescue for the Quad Cities Pints and Paws Blood Drive.

Help Yourself, The Red Cross, And The Animals

During the Quad Cities Pints and Paws Blood Drive, all presenting blood donors will receive a Red Cross Pet Bandana. Red Cross blood donors will also receive a new Red Cross Umbrella while supplies last.

For each blood donation given at a Pint and Paws Blood Drive location, a $10 donation will be made to one of the sponsoring humane societies of the Quad Cities.   You can help impact the lives of our local pets and patients in need!
