Beef Up the Blood Supply Ahead of Labor Day Weekend |
Blood donors who save lives before Labor Day will enjoy a hotdog picnic at Oklahoma Blood Institute’s donor centers statewide! This year’s Pre-Labor Day blood drive- Beef Up the Blood Supply- is a two-day event.
On Thursday, August 31 and Friday, September 1, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., donors will receive OBI’s annual spooky t-shirt. The Oklahoma Beef Council is providing all-beef hot dogs as it teams up with the Oklahoma Blood Institute to ‘beef up’ the blood supply for the Labor Day weekend. All blood donors on these days will be entered to win $500 in beef from Callison Ranch Beef.
Oklahoma Blood Institute has nine donor centers statewide including four in the Oklahoma City metro:
- Central OKC, 901 N. Lincoln Blvd.
- North OKC, 5105 N. Portland Ave.
- Edmond, 3409 S. Broadway, Suite 300
- Norman, 1004 24th Ave., N.W., Suite 101
-
Ada, Ardmore, Enid, Lawton and Tulsa (addresses on obi.org)
“Oklahoma’s beef farmers and ranchers care about Oklahomans and are excited to continue this 20-year partnership with the Oklahoma Blood Institute,” said Heather Buckmaster, OBC Executive Director. “We hope everyone takes a moment before their Labor Day activities to help us Beef Up the Blood Supply.”

Cattle Industry Leader Bob Drake sits down and talks with Ron Hays about his lifetime of service in the cattle business. Drake has served as the President of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association, the last President of the old National Cattlemen's Association and Vice President of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau.
He loves politics and being a change agent for the cattle producer back up at the fork of the creek. Drake had a front row seat as the Beef Checkoff was approved by cattle producers and he believes it's way past time to find a way to get a second dollar at the national level.
