DAYTON, Ohio – Help boost the blood supply before the Memorial Day weekend and get a chance to win Taylor Swift tickets by donating at the Union City Lions Club community blood drive Monday, May 22 from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Union City Building, 105 North Columbia St., Union City.
Make an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com, call (937) 461-3220, or use the Donor Time app.
Everyone who registers to donate receives the “Sunshine & Saving Lives” towel for the beach, lake, or pool. Register to donate now through May 31 with CBC to be automatically entered in the drawing to win two tickets to see Taylor Swift perform live June 30 at Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium.
Memorial Day weekend launches the summer vacation season, an always challenging time for CBC to register the 350 donors needed every day to supply area hospitals. Remember to donate or reschedule your donation as soon as possible.
You can save time while helping save lives by using “DonorXPress” to complete the donor questionnaire before arriving at a blood drive. Find DonorXPress on the Donor Time App or at www.givingblood.org/donorxpress.
