A blood drive, cancer advocacy groups, screenings, food vendors, Heroes Fun Zone for kids, and beer garden also round out the Fit Festival activities.
Blood drive
All community members are encouraged to be a hero for the cancer community by pre-registering for the blood drive. Unlike medicine, blood products cannot be made in a laboratory. Cancer patients often need red blood cell or platelet transfusions during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications.
