Organize your own Legacy Drive

“The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.” - Kalu Ndukwe Kalu

Would you like to leave a lasting Legacy once you’re gone that will live on for generations? Our Blood Institute can help you with that.

  • Legacy Drives are blood drives held through either a mobile drive or an in-center drive at our Oklahoma City, North Oklahoma City, Edmond, or Norman centers.
  • These drives are a way for a family help create a legacy of a loved one that has passed by memorializing their memory through a blood drive with family and friends.
  • Each Legacy Drive will have the opportunity to donate funds to a charity of their choice one certain criteria have been met.

To learn more about the Legacy Drive experience or to set yours up in advance, please reach out to programs@obi.org.

We're joining together with Dignity Memorial to help you leave a legacy.

•Helping families create a Legacy of those they have lost by reaching out to the families at the appropriate time.

•At a post-memorial service touchpoint from Dignity Memorial, family will receive a co-branded informational piece on who to contact for more information on hosting a Legacy Drive, should the family be interested.

•At the pre-planning session with Dignity Memorial, an informational piece will also be available for families to explain Legacy Drives.

•We believe this partnership is valuable in helping spread the word about what a difference blood donation can make in the lives of the living, while remembering the legacy of those who have passed away.
