2024 Colts Leadership Challenge

The Colts and Versiti are challenging Indiana high school teams to host the biggest blood drive this summer.

Accept our challenge and win $1,000 equipment grant for your team!

Versiti Blood Center of Indiana has partnered with the Indianapolis Colts to inspire Indiana high school teams to host local blood drives this summer.

In Indiana, 560 lifesaving blood donations are needed each day to meet the needs of Versiti’s 80 partner hospitals across the state. In the summer, donations drop nearly 20 percent – creating a massive need for community support.
