WEST PLAINS, MO – Start the new year by giving the gift of life! Ozarks Healthcare is partnering with Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO) to host a blood drive on Friday, Feb. 21 at the Ozarks Healthcare Parkway Center, 1211 Porter Wagoner Blvd., from noon to 6 p.m.
Blood donated through CBCO directly supports patients at Ozarks Healthcare and more than 40 other healthcare facilities across the Ozarks. Donors will receive a warm CBCO hoodie (while supplies last) and have the opportunity to participate in the 56-Day Challenge, with a chance to win up to $56,000 in Visa gift cards – all thanks to a generous donation from Adam Swenka with Flat Branch Home Loans and The Giving Branch.
How to Participate in the 56-Day Challenge: 1. Sign up online by Feb. 28 at www.cbco.org/2025-56-day.
2. Donate whole blood at any CBCO donor center or blood drive throughout 2025.
The more times you donate in 2025, the more entries you earn for monthly prize drawings, increasing your chances to win up to $56,000. Help make a difference – schedule an appointment at www.cbco.org/donate-blood or call 417-227-5006. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are encouraged to reduce wait times.
