LANCASTER — The 15th annual Tyler Lundin Memorial Blood Drive will take place from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., today, at a new location, Sgt. Steve Owen Memorial Park, 43063 10th St.

Over the years, the drive has collected more than 2,000 units of blood, which each can provide components for up to three patients.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center staff will draw blood.

Potential blood donors must be at least 17 (16 with parental consent) and weigh at least 110 pounds. Donors must bring an ID and wear a face mask.

Donors may make an appointment at https://www.donatebloodcedars.org/index. cfm?group=op&es=true and enter the ZIP 93551. Walk-ins are also welcome, but appointments are encouraged.

All COVID-19 safety regulations are in effect. Donors are asked to wear a mask and bring an ID.

Attendees also can join in a silent auction and raffle for gift baskets to benefit Children’s Charities.

The blood drive is sponsored by the Quartz Hill Womens Club.

Lundin, a 2004 Quartz Hill High School graduate, died on Oct. 26, 2006, four days after his truck collided with a vehicle that turned left in front of him at 10th Street West and Avenue O.
