Hoxworth Blood Center and several local arts organizations—Cincinnati Arts Association, Cincinnati Ballet, Cincinnati Opera, May Festival, Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra—are joining for an inclusive, arts-focused blood drive at Music Hall.

Donors will receive a free t-shirt and a swag bag filled with gifts from blood drive partners. Musicians and artists from Cincinnati Opera, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, and Cincinnati Arts Association will be performing throughout the day.

Additionally, in recognition of the involvement of the LGBTQ+ community in the arts, Hoxworth is providing cards for donors and allies to sign in support of amending eligibility guidelines that prevent men who have sex with men from donating blood. These cards will then be sent to the FDA.

Masks are required, and this blood drive will be held in a large, open area in the Music Hall ballroom to adhere to social distancing protocols. Hoxworth staff will be changing gloves between each donor, and all shared surfaces will be sanitized at regular intervals.

To schedule your donation, please visit Hoxworth.org/groups/musichall or call (513) 451-0910.
