2025 Blue Blood Drive ****UPDATE****
January 9

January 9th was National Police Appreciation Day
Iowa C.O.P.S. is partnering with LifeServe Blood Centers, The American Red Cross, ImpactLife Blood Centers, and the University of Iowa’s DeGowin Blood Center for this annual event. In partnering with these four blood centers, Iowa C.O.P.S. can reach all corners of the state and lead the nation in total units collected for a 7th straight year. This blood drive is held in early January, a time when few people think of blood donation, which can lead to shortages for those who require blood transfusions for cancer treatment or traumatic injuries.
