Vitalant will be celebrating Arizona's rich Route 66 history with Centennial blood drives from Seligman to Holbrook where our wonderful donors can receive a special Route 66 Centennial t-shirt. 

In 2026, communities across the country will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Route 66, the iconic highway established in 1926. Arizona plays a central role in this milestone, with 385.2 miles of the longest remaining unbroken stretch of historic Route 66, running from Lupton to just west of Kingman.

As these communities honor the legacy of the Mother Road, Vitalant continues its mission of saving lives across Arizona. As the state’s largest nonprofit community blood provider, Vitalant supplies blood to 72 hospitals and serves 11 of Arizona’s 15 counties. With one in five hospital patients needing a blood transfusion, nearly 700 Arizona donors are needed every day, including holidays, to ensure lifesaving care is always available.
