'I Bleed For Preston And Steve' Blood Drive In King Of Prussia

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — The American Red Cross and 93.3 WMMR radio hosts will lead a blood drive in King of Prussia later this month.

The 13th annual "I Bleed for Preston and Steve" drive will take place on Saturday, June 16 at the Valley Forge Casino Resort Event Center from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“This drive has become a highly anticipated event for our region and serves as a critical kickoff to summer—a time when blood donations historically decrease because of vacations and schools being out of session,” said Alana Mauger, external communications manager, Red Cross Penn Jersey Blood Services Region. “The demand for blood doesn’t take a vacation. Our region must collect close to 800 units of blood and platelets every day to meet patient need regardless of the season.”

Donors at the event could have the chance to meet members of the Preston and Steven show and receive free shirts.

The drive is the largest in the local area and the second largest single-day drive in the United States.
