PRESS RELEASE FROM LIFELINE BLOOD SERVICES:
LIFELINE Blood Services Announces its “All American” Theme Blood Drive
[Jackson, Tenn.] LIFELINE Blood Services will host its annual “All American Blood Drive” in Jackson and Dyersburg.
The event will take place June 27th from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at LIFELINE’s Jackson location- 183 Sterling Farms Dr and June 29th from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at LIFELINE’s Dyersburg location- 1130 Hwy 51 Bypass Suite 19 and 20. The community is invited to attend and donate blood for a lifesaving cause.
Every donor 18+ will be entered to win a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport generously donated by Joe Mahan Ford in Paris. Participants will receive a limited-edition donor t-shirt, a voucher for a “Forge” burger and fries from The Blacksmith Restaurant, and a chance to win 4 tickets to the Braves vs. Cardinals game on July 21st. Kona Ice will be on-site offering a free snow cone to the first 10 donors and $1 off for every donor afterwards. The event promises to unite the community in support of a vital cause, offering both lifesaving contributions and exciting rewards.
“We have some awesome promotions going on this summer! Donations tend to nose-dive in the summer due to busy schedules, so we hope this blood drive inspires people to take the first step towards saving lives,” says Melinda Reid, Marketing Manager of LIFELINE Blood Services.
LIFELINE Blood Services never requires appointments for whole blood donation. For platelet and plasma donation, please call 731.427.4431 and make an appointment.
