The Minnesota Wild, in partnership with the American Red Cross and HealthPartners, will host a blood drive at Xcel Energy Center on Wednesday, Aug. 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.. The Minnesota Wild hope to raise awareness about the need for a diverse blood supply, especially to help sickle cell patients which affects one out of every 365 Black or African American births. One in three African American blood donors are a match for people with sickle cell disease.
