Cathedral City to host blood drive for Nine Cities Campaign
Cathedral City today will host the latest blood drive in the Nine Cities Blood Drive Challenge, which pits the nine communities of the Coachella Valley against one another to see which of them can muster the most blood donations.
From noon until 6 p.m., LifeStream Blood Bank will be accepting donations at the Cathedral City Library, 33520 Date Palm Drive, in the library’s community room.
