We are once again partnering with American Red Cross of Connecticut and the Hartford Yard Goats for our annual blood drive on Thursday, May 19, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
The blood drive will take place in 2 different locations: Dunkin’ Donuts Park in Hartford and Farmington Gardens in Farmington. For your safety, Covid-19 prevention measures will be reinforced in every facility.
For those giving blood at Dunkin' Donuts Park, free parking will be available in the lot at the southeast corner of Main Street and Trumbull Street.
All donors will receive a ticket voucher to a Hartford Yard Goats home game valid from June 14 through 16 and one ticket to Six Flags New England valid through August 31, while supplies last.
