Carter BloodCare to hold blood drive with thank-you gifts to donors in March
TEXARKANA, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Carter BloodCare will host a mobile blood drive in front of the Texarkana Chamber of Commerce on Friday, March 7.
Blood donors will receive a 30-ounce camouflage beverage tumbler, while supplies last. Donors with O negative blood will also receive a $50 e-gift card to a retailer of their choice.
Eligible donors can begin giving blood at the age of 16 with parental approval while ages 17 and up can donate freely. Donors must meet a 110-pound weight requirement and be feeling well at the time of their donation.
'By donating at Carter BloodCare blood drives, Texans help people hurt in car crashes, children fighting cancer, severe burn patients, older adults with age-related health issues, mothers going through difficult childbirths, open heart surgery patients, and many other neighbors in need,' says Carter BloodCare administrative assistant Sonia Chiessa-Ortiz.
