Did you know that eligible donors can give blood every 56 days? Resolve to save lives by routinely giving blood in 2026 and you could win up to $56,000 in VISA gift cards! Presented by the Adam Swenka Team at Flat Branch Home Loans and Ozarks First News, the 56-Day Challenge is returning for another year โ and this time itโs bigger than ever!
Take the first step toward completing the challenge by giving blood at a Community Blood Center of the Ozarks blood drive (like this one!) or donor center in January or February. All successful donors will receive a FREE 56-Day Challenge sweatshirt, while supplies last!
Plus, all January and February donors who sign up for the 56-Day Challenge can win VISA gift cards. The more times you donate in 2026, the more you could win! Learn more about the challenge and find official rules at www.cbco.org/2026-56-day.
With more chances to participate, more opportunities to win and a bigger potential payout, thereโs never been a better time to support local patients by donating to CBCO! Sign up to save lives today!

Across the Ozarks, someoneโs friend, family member, co-worker, neighbor or loved one needs blood every seven minutes. CBCO is the sole provider of blood, platelets and plasma to over 40 hospitals in northwest Arkansas, southwest Missouri and southeast Kansas. One blood donation can help as many as three people in these local hospitals.

Donors are asked to take a few steps to ensure donations operate smoothly on the day of the drive:
1. Drink plenty of water or juice the night and morning before you donate.
2. Eat a well-balanced meal around 2-3 hours before giving.
3. Bring your photo identification โ this is now required for all donors!
