Give Blood for a Fright Fest Night!

Did you know your blood can save lives?

Join the Summer Blood Drive on Saturday, October 20 to benefit the Blood Centers of the Pacific. You'll be a hero!

The Donor Mobile will be stationed at the main entrance of the park and open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Each donor will receive a free admission ticket to enjoy the park. 

Since the blood drive is very popular, donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment on the BloodHeroes web site. Be sure to use the code SFDK to be eligible for the blood drive at the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom location. Limited walk-up appointments are available.
