SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The San Diego Blood Bank held its fifth annual San Diego Padres Summer Blood Drive Wednesday at Petco Park. More than 400 units were collected.
The blood drive is an annual effort to boost the county s blood supply, which routinely dips in the summer because students are on summer break and donors are out of town, according to the blood bank.
âWe are so grateful to the Padres and Sycuan Casino Resort for partnering with us to make the drive happen again this year,â said San Diego Blood Bank CEO David Wellis. âAs we are facing a national blood shortage, this couldnât have come at a better time. Padres Summer Blood Drive is literally a lifesaver for local hospital patients.â
