The 30th annual Pittsburgh Pirates blood drives return to PNC Park. Nonprofit Vitalant is encouraging community members to donate blood and help maintain a safe and steady blood supply for local patients during the summer months, when donations often decline.

Donors of all blood types are needed, especially type O donors. As a thank-you, everyone who donates will receive a voucher redeemable for two Pittsburgh Pirates home game tickets. In addition, donors who schedule using code JUNEGIFT-2026-V and donate in June will receive a $15 Donor Rewards gift card. Walk-ins are accepted, but appointments are encouraged to avoid wait-times. Visit Vitalant.org/Pirates to schedule your donation today.

MEDIA CONTACT:  Maya Santana, Vitalant Communications Manager, 716-597-4513, [email protected].  

Media will have access to b-roll and photo opportunities of blood donation activities throughout the event. Vitalant spokesperson interviews will be available upon request. Donor interviews may be arranged with verbal consent from participating donors. Additional photos, video, and event results will be available during and following the blood drive via email request.
