Salina, KS – The Kansas Highway Patrol will host the 2025 Technical Trooper Bill Goodness Memorial Blood Drive on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at its Training Academy in Salina. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the academy’s Large Auditorium at 2025 East Iron Avenue.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the annual drive honors the late Technical Trooper Bill Goodness, who passed away a decade ago from multiple myeloma. The event continues his legacy of service and compassion by encouraging others to donate blood — a gesture that once supported Goodness during his treatment.
The patrol invites residents and supporters across Kansas to participate in the memorial blood drive, helping to save lives while remembering one of their own. Those wishing to donate can register online through the American Red Cross website using the sponsor code khpgoodness.
Officials note that community support for the event has grown each year, with many attendees including KHP members, families, and local residents who want to make a difference.
