This holiday season, Hoxworth Blood Center, University of Cincinnati, is raising a glass to life-saving efforts with its "Cheers to Saving Lives" blood drives, happening at Cincinnati's most beloved breweries. From November through January, blood donors can save lives while earning brewery discounts and gift cards for their next visit to more than 20 Tristate breweries.

Cincinnati's brewing culture runs deep, and local breweries are stepping up to give back to the community. Hoxworth's "Cheers to Saving Lives" event partners with more than 20 local breweries and bars. It offers an exciting opportunity for beer lovers and local business supporters alike to make a tangible difference during the crucial holiday months when blood donations typically slow down. Individuals who donate at these brewery drives will receive a "Cheers to Saving Lives: One Pint at a Time" limited edition t-shirt as a thank you, plus a special gift from the host brewery.

"As the sole blood provider in the Tristate area, we're beyond excited to partner with Cincinnati's amazing breweries to create an event that brings the community together in a meaningful way. These drives not only help us collect the blood our local hospitals depend on every day, but also showcase the vibrant culture of craft beer that Cincinnati is known for around the world," said Elizabeth Davis, manager of mobile donor recruitment at Hoxworth Blood Center.

The first blood drive will be Nov. 2 with more dates running through November, December and January.

Donating is easy! To schedule an appointment or to see the full brewery drive calendar, visit Hoxworth.org/groups/brew or call (513) 451-0910.
