Blood drive offers incentives to increase donations MILWAUKEE — The American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors to participate in the 13th annual Milwaukee County Zoo Blood Drive from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at the zoo's Peck Center, 10001 W. Bluemound Road. During summer, blood donations often fail to keep up with hospital demands because donors are vacationing and schools are not in session. Nearly 1,279 donations have been col- lected since the inception of the blood drive. This year's drive could surpass a 1,500-donation milestone, with 279 dona- tions expected over the two-day period. All participating donors will receive free same-day zoo admission, free parking and free child care.
