The Victory Project Blood Drive set for Saturday at Children's Mercy Park

The Victory Project will host the fifth annual blood drive from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. CT Saturday in the Budweiser Brew House at Children’s Mercy Park. Donors can use the sponsor code “victoryproject” to sign up online, and all who participate will receive an exclusive “I Bleed Sporting Blue” shirt.

Nearly 100 percent of cancer patients receive blood products and The Victory Project has teamed up with the Community Blood Center, which serves hospitals in the Kansas City area as well as eastern Kansas and western Missouri.

Saturday's blood drive is part of a continued celebration during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, with Sporting KC and The Victory Project hosting a series of community events in September leading up to the team’s highly anticipated Childhood Cancer Awareness Match on Sept.
