  • Where is the blood drive located?
    Blood Drive is located at Children's Hospital L.A. Blood Donor Center in Hollywood, CA. Parking will be available below the hospital structure and all donors will receive free parking validation. Address: 4650 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027
  • What should I eat before I donate blood?
    Be sure to drink plenty of water and eat a nutritious meal before donating.
  • Why is donating blood important?
    Children with blood cancer often need extra blood because their bodies can’t make enough healthy cells during treatment. Donated blood helps fight infections, prevent bleeding, and keep them healthy during their care.
