The grand prize includes air travel and deluxe accommodations for eight

Anyone who registers to donate Monday, July 27 through Saturday, Aug.
29 at any CBC Donor Center and most CBC mobile blood drives will
receive the final special-edition, Hawaiian-themed donor gift of the
summer. The “Catch the Wave – Donate Blood” water bottle is a
plastic, BPA free, mason jar-design with an orange screw top and
sipping straw and the “Catch the Wave” slogan in blue with the CBC
blood drop logo.
Maintaining the blood supply can be challenging during the summer
months due to vacation travel and other changes in schedules. If
you have to miss an appointment, CBC encourages you to reschedule when
you are able. We especially encourage the continued support of
type O whole blood donors and type A/B platelet and plasma donors.
