Giving Blood A ‘Big Deal’ During ‘Let’s Save A Life’

-

Community Blood Center of the Ozarks, the sole supplier of blood and plasma to patients at 44 area healthcare facilities, is giving area blood donors a chance to win some exciting prizes when they donate during the all-new “Let’s Save A Life” promotion this summer.

Successful donors at any CBCO blood drive or donor center between now and July 31 will be automatica­lly entered into a weekly mystery prize drawing which is valued at $200. Participan­ts can earn an additional entry by following instructio­ns in the CBCO online donor store. Donors will also receive an exclusive “Let’s Save A Life” blood drive T-shirt, while supplies last.

“Let’s Save A Life” is a powerful, easy-to-remember call to action that each of us has the ability to make a huge impact in the lives of our friends, neighbors and loved ones,” said Michelle Teter, CBCO media relations representa­tive. “You never know who your blood donation will benefit. It could be a cancer patient, new mother, traumatic accident or burn victims, but their exact identity will remain a mystery. We thought introducin­g mystery prizes would be a fun way to encourage some much-needed donations at a critical time of year. Of course, the real prize is saving lives.”

Each weekly winner will have the chance to make a “big deal” by deciding whether to keep their weekly prize or forego the prize and be entered to win the $5,000 mystery grand prize. CBCO will invite all weekly winners to a virtual event in August where they will spin a wheel, pick the grand prize winner, and reveal the grand prize.

Donating blood is a big deal and there is no easier way to save a life than to give blood.

On behalf of local hospital patients, CBCO thanks blood donors from across the region for giving life to your community
