The blood drive will take place at the Sheraton Hotel located at 555 South McDowell Street in Charlotte (28204).

“We’re looking forward to being part of the Mad Monster Party and giving blood donors an opportunity to save lives in our 27 area hospitals. This event is all about thrills and there is no greater thrill than knowing you have the power to heal, it’s in your blood,” said John McCain, COO of the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas.
