Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee join forces for a joyful, one-day community event where Milwaukee can give twice the hope — donating blood to save lives and bringing new toys to brighten a child’s holiday. The combined blood and toy drive, “Double the Drive. Double the Hope.” takes place at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee’s Cathedral Square headquarters on Nov. 4, 2026. This event supports both Versiti’s lifesaving mission and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Milwaukee’s mentorship programs, benefiting children through the Kids2Kids Toy Drive and patients in need across Wisconsin.
