Through Sept. 10, donors can register for a chance at a 2022 Toyota RAV4. Through July 4, donors can register for a chance at a Jamaican holiday.
All donors 18 and older who register through Sept. 10 get the chance to win a 2022 Toyota RAV4. Donors who get out early and register to donate through July 4 at a Kentucky Blood Center mobile blood drive or donor center will also be entered to win a five-night, six-day vacation package for two to the Excellence Oyster Bay in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The winner of the vacation package will be announced after July 4.
The Kentucky Blood Center has less than 75 percent of the 400 daily donors it needs to supply the more than 70 hospitals through first quarter of 2022. The current shortage is especially worrisome when donation numbers historically drop off during the summer.
Help the Kentucky Blood Center dig out of the national and local blood shortage and schedule an appointment at this upcoming drive today. Donors who donate in May and June will also receive a limited-edition trucker hat.
