We are always looking for ways to help others and make an impact, right? I’m excited to share a wonderful opportunity to make a difference in Akron, Ohio with the Bikers Blood Drive. Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 8, from 12–4 p.m. to join the 23rd Annual Battle of the Bikers Blood Drive. This is a fun, family-friendly event that brings together local Harley-Davidson dealers and our community to support patients in need.
Did you know that during the colder months, winter weather and seasonal illnesses can strain our local blood supply? It’s true. More now than ever, every blood donation plays a crucial role in supporting patients undergoing surgeries, cancer treatments, and emergency care. This event goes beyond “doing good” or “helping others”, this event gives you the chance to help save lives.
It’s a great way to teach the importance of community service and kindness to our kids too
Event Highlights
- When: Saturday, March 8, 12 p.m. – 4 p.m.
