Cardinals to Host Blood Drive at Busch Stadium

The St. Louis Cardinals, Anheuser-Busch, FOX Sports Midwest and the American Red Cross have teamed up to host a blood drive at Busch Stadium on Tuesday, April 21. The American Red Cross has an ongoing critical need for blood and platelet donations. Donors of all blood types, especially type O, are urged to give now and help ensure blood products are available for patients this spring. Fans can register to donate at cardinals.com/blooddrive.

“We are proud to support our partners at the American Red Cross by opening up the Cardinals Club at Busch Stadium for a blood drive,” said Michael Hall, Vice President of Community Relations and Executive Director of Cardinals Care. “The vast space we have allows the Red Cross to set up a blood drive with appropriate social distancing guidelines in place at this time.”

The Red Cross has implemented new measures to ensure blood drives and donation centers are even safer for donors and staff, including:

  • Checking the temperature of staff and donors before entering a drive to make sure they are healthy.
  • Providing hand sanitizer for use before the drive, as well as throughout the donation process.
  • Spacing beds to follow social distancing practices between blood donors.
  • Increasing enhanced disinfecting of surfaces and equipment.
  • Staff wearing basic face masks.
