GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — If you have some free time on Saturday, organizers with Versiti Blood Center of Michigan are hoping you can stop by Van Andel Arena to donate blood.
The demand for blood does not decrease during the summer, so to help out, the Grand Rapids Griffins teamed up with Versitit to host a blood drive Saturday, June 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Versiti will be taking appointments in the B, C and D banquet rooms at the Van Andel Arena.
