The need is urgent, and Carlsbad Village is calling on you to help. The Heart of the Village Blood Drive is happening on Saturday, September 27, from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM, and we still need donors to step forward.
Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. For a car accident victim, a child battling cancer, or a mother facing complications during childbirth, your donation could be the difference between life and death. Just one hour of your time can save up to three lives.
We cannot do this without you. Every donation matters right now, more than ever.

To thank you for your generosity, every donor will receive two rewards:
- A free cone card to Handel’s Ice Cream in Carlsbad Village
- September donor EXCLUSIVE! A ticket to SeaWorld’s Howl-O-Scream, San Diego’s largest nighttime Halloween experience (while supplies last)
Appointments are highly encouraged, and spots are filling fast. Please schedule your donation now at mysdbb.org.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Must be at least 17 years old
- Weigh a minimum of 110 pounds
- Be in good health on donation day
- Bring a photo ID
This is your chance to do something truly life-saving for someone who needs you. Sign up today. Together, we can keep the heart of our Village strong and give hope where it’s needed most.
