Cardinals Blood Drive

Each year, the Cardinals team up with FanDuel Sports Network and the American Red Cross to help save lives by encouraging fans to donate blood at the annual St. Louis Cardinals Blood Drive.

Since the drive’s inception in 2005, more than 20,000 blood donations have been collected during the summer drive, which comes at a critical time of year for the Red Cross when donations are low. In addition, the Cardinals are proud to support various Red Cross Blood Drives and initiatives throughout the year. Those who have a desire to help others can step up to the plate and help save lives by participating in our next event.

On Thursday, March 13, 2025, the Cardinals and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (STLMD) teamed up for a blood drive in honor of local area first responders where we collected 41 units of blood.

Stay tuned for the 2026 date.
