Seattle Opera has launched an August blood drive after plasma supplies in the Pacific Northwest fell to a critical low due to Covid-19 and the recent heatwave.

Volunteers are being entered in a prize raffle. Donors at the Opera Center are required to wear a mask.

‘Through our art, and our civic actions in the community, Seattle Opera aims to be responsive to the needs of our region,’ said Seattle Opera General Director Christina Scheppelmann. ‘We hope you will join us in donating at our August blood drive. Giving blood is an important way of caring for each other and contributing to healthcare readiness.’
