Oklahoma Blood Institute is planning two Bigfoot-themed blood drives in Kingfisher County this week.

The first is Sunday, March 17, at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church’s Parish Hall.

It will be from 8 to noon. The second is Thursday, March 21, at the Event Center in Hennessey, located at 600 N. Main St.

It will be from 2 to 7 p.m.

Each blood donor will receive a limited-edition Bigfoot t-shirt and they will be entered to win a vacation getaway – a two-night luxury cabin stay at Beavers Bend, including gift cards to Girls Gone Wine and Beavers Bend Brewery.  

The destination is in an area of Oklahoma where Bigfoot sightings have been reported.

 “The legend of Bigfoot is not only fun, but it is a way to motivate our donors to believe in themselves and the real power of blood donation,” said John Armitage, M.D., president and CEO of Oklahoma Blood Institute.  “While Sasquatch does not qualify as human, and is therefore not eligible to donate, his willingness to use his celebrity status to scare up more pints is extremely generous.”
