Camp Donor Comes to Newcastle: Give Blood, Get Perks — No Mosquito Bites Involved!

This summer, skip the bug spray and pack your good deed instead — because Camp Donor is rolling into town! The Our Blood Institute is teaming up with the City of Newcastle for a community blood drive full of retro camp vibes and real-life impact.

Join the fun on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Newcastle Storm Shelter, 901 N. Carr Drive.

All successful donors will receive:

• A limited-edition “Camp Donor” T-shirt with a vintage camp design

• A collectible Camp Donor badge sticker to show off your donor pride

• And for Newcastle donors, a free ticket to either Frontier City or Hurricane Harbor in Oklahoma City!

“Summer is the perfect time to rally around a cause — and what better cause than saving lives?” said Jeannette McNally, Assistant City Manager for the City of Newcastle. “We’re excited to partner with Our Blood Institute and bring a little summer camp spirit to our community while supporting a vital need.”

Summer blood supplies tend to run low, and every donation helps hospitals across Oklahoma. Campers (aka donors) of all experience levels are welcome — whether you're a rookie or a returning champion.
