Blood Drive Celebrates
30th Anniversary!

For the past 30 years, Comic-Con has worked with the San Diego Blood Bank to hold the annual Robert A. Heinlein Blood Drive. In 2005, Comic-Con was the second largest donating organization in San Diego (with only the Chargers football team donating more blood).

In 2006, the Blood Drive moves next door to the beautiful Marriott Hotel and Marina. In this more relaxed atmosphere, the Blood Bank will be able to accept more donors. All donors receive a San Diego Blood Bank T-shirt (featuring the graphic at the top of this page) and a goodie bag filled with great stuff contributed by some of Comic-Con’s generous exhibitors.

This year, Diamond Select Toys is contributing 700 "Spike" action figures from the Angel TV series to this year’s blood drive. In addition, a raffle will be held for some great high-end items, which you’ll be able to see on display at the Blood Drive booth in the Convention Center. Drawing winners will be posted at 6:00 PM on Friday and Saturday and at 3:00 PM on Sunday. Only one goodie bag and drawing entry is allowed to each donor.

This year’s Blood Drive will take place at the Marriott on Friday, July 21 and Saturday, July 22 from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM and on Sunday, July 23 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The Blood Drive registration booth will still be located in the Sails Pavilion on the Convention Center’s top floor for all your onsite questions and registration before going over to the Marriott. Please register by 5:00 PM on Friday and Saturday and by 2:00 PM on Sunday. You can also pre- register to give blood online. Make contributing to the Blood Drive part of your annual Comic-Con tradition!
