WQED Community Blood Drive

Celebrate Mick Jagger’s 75th birthday by donating blood at WQED Studios. What does Jagger’s birthday have to do with the WQED Community Blood Drive? Nothing, unless you consider how often WQED airs a vintage Rolling Stones concert as part of its pledge programming. Thing is, Jagger isn’t even the Stone most commonly associated with blood; it is his fellow Glimmer Twin Keith Richards who allegedly had a full-body transfusion to help him kick heroin. Did that happen? Probably not. But it couldn’t have happened without a hearty supply of blood. And truth is, there is never enough blood for people who really need it. For this reason, or simply because you’re a good human, make a point to stop by the home of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood and donate; parking in the WQED lot is free to donors, and lunch is provided by honeygrow.
