BIG SPRING, TX — Big Spring Bowl-A-Rama will host two blood drives this weekend beginning today from 11 am to 3 pm.
According to Linda Grace, Donor Recruitment Supervisor for Vitalant, blood donations decrease greatly during the holiday season but the need increases, especially because many people are traveling.
In addition to potentially saving up to three lives, donors will also receive a variety of perks, such as a $15 prepaid gift card and t-shirt, redeemable in the donor rewards store, plus 2 free games of bowling courtesy of Bowlarama. They will also receive an entry into a grand prize drawing for a beautiful piece of jewelry that has been donated by Cano’s Diamond’s in San Angelo, valued at $500. This is only available to donors in Big Spring that participated in any of the blood drives since Dec. 19th.
Schedule an appointment to donate blood at vitalant.org.
Grace told KBest News that approximately 2 of 3 pints of blood are donated at a mobile blood drive, where Vitalant will come to your church, school, or place of business. Anyone wanting to host a blood drive, call them at 877-25-VITAL.
