FISTA Innovation Park is proud to partner with OBI for a special blood drive featuring Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams!

📅 Monday, July 6
⏰ 10:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
📍 FISTA Innovation Park STEM Lab

Every blood donation helps save lives, but this event comes with an incredible bonus!

🎤 One lucky donor will win the chance to sit down with JWill for a 60-minute live, in-person, unscripted Q&A session. No script. No filters. Just real conversation, questions, and stories from one of Oklahoma's favorite NBA players.

❤️ Plus, if you schedule your donation appointment at least 24 hours in advance, OBI will make a monetary contribution to the FISTA STEM Lab on your behalf, helping support the next generation of innovators.

This is more than a blood drive—it's an opportunity to save lives, support STEM education, and create unforgettable memories.
