MOUNTAIN VIEW, Mo. (October 21, 2026) – Football season is in full swing and community members can go the extra yard for local patients by donating at the upcoming Mountain View community blood drive on Friday, November 6.
Community Blood Center of the Ozarks (CBCO), the sole supplier of blood, platelets and plasma to patients at more than 40 area hospitals, is teaming up with the Kansas City Chiefs to encourage fans to make an impact beyond the football field.
All successful donors will receive a long-sleeve Kansas City Chiefs T-shirt, while supplies last. Donors will be automatically entered for a chance to win a tailgate prize package valued at more than $1,400, featuring a $250 Walmart gift card, YETI cooler, Blackstone tabletop grill and Chiefs swag.
Blood donations collected through CBCO help provide the blood products needed by patients at Mercy Hospital St. Francis, as well as over 40 other hospitals throughout the Ozarks. Mountain View area residents can donate at:
Mountain View Community Blood Drive
Community Center – Community Room
125 E. 1st Street, Mountain View
Friday, November 6 – 12:30 PM to 5:30 PM
“Every blood donation is an opportunity to step up for someone in our community who may need a transfusion,” said Michelle Teter, Media Relations Representative at Community Blood Center of the Ozarks. “The Chiefs promotion gives donors a fun way to go the extra yard this season, but the real impact is knowing your donation could be there when a local patient needs it. We hope football fans and community members will join us and make an important play for local patients.”
To help avoid wait times, appointments are strongly encouraged. Donors can schedule an appointment at www.cbco.org/chiefs or by calling 417-227-5006.
