room, 5484 S. State Route 49 with a splashy water bottle as the donor

Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln in Greenville will host a community blood drive
Saturday, Aug. 1 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at 500 Wagner Ave., also with a
splashy water bottle as the donor gift, plus a chance to win a deluxe
Hawaii vacation for two.
Everyone who registers to donate will receive a free “Catch the Wave –
Donate Blood” screw top water bottle with straw; everyone age 18 and
older will also be entered in the Community Blood Center (CBC) “Get on
Board – Give Blood” summer blood drive drawing to win an
all-expense-paid Hawaii vacation for two. Donors are encouraged
to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call
1-800-388-GIVE.
The grand prize includes air travel and deluxe accommodations for eight
nights at two island locations. All taxes, fees and meals are
included. The vacation package also includes pre-paid activities
and sight-seeing excursions, plus all ground transportation.
Everyone age 18 and older who registers to donate with CBC from May 4
through Aug. 28 will be automatically entered in the “Get on Board –
Give Blood Summer Blood Drive” drawing. REACH magazine is the
media sponsor and The Flowerman is the fresh flower sponsor. Eligible
donors can enter the drawing a second time when they register for a
second donation during the blood drive period. Official rules are
available at www.givingblood.org.
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.
