What is the Corpuscle Shuffle 5K

The ImpactLife Corpuscle Shuffle 5K Run & Walk is a highlight of the fall season for ImpactLife staff members, blood donors, volunteers, and supporters. Participants gather on an October Saturday to start their day with a 5-kilometer or 1-mile jaunt through the hills on city streets near our headquarters. Following the race, everyone regroups at the nearby Five Cities Brewery for our awards ceremony and post-race party. Five Cities opens early for our event, offering a complimentary breakfast for participants and the opportunity to regroup and enjoy time with friends before going on with the day's activities.

With the support of our sponsors and race registrations, the Corpuscle Shuffle annually raises more than $20,000 towards the blood center's LifeSavings Grant program, a key element of our outreach to the next generation of blood donors. Kindergarten through 12th grade institutions that host blood drives with ImpactLife receive a grant of $250, plus $1 for each registered blood donor. Schools can use these to purchase books, equipment, and technology; for scholarships; or to donate to another nonprofit or cause.

The 5k course will feature mile markers and will be patrolled at key intersections by Bettendorf Police Department and race volunteers. It is a chip timed event.

Thank you to all participants & Volunteers! 

Thank you for all you do to make the Corpuscle Shuffle 5K happen. Check out our highlight video of the event below.

Sponsorships and entry fees will fund ImpactLife's LifeSavings grants, a program under which ImpactLife provides funding to schools that host mobile blood drives. LifeSavings grants can be used to defray expenses for the blood drive, for educational purposes within the school district, or to support charitable initiatives as directed by the school. 

By supporting schools that host mobile blood drives, the LifeSavings program is an important tool to help educate young people about transfusion medicine and blood donation. Thank you for helping ImpactLife develop the next generation of blood donors!
