FOX 44 and Carter BloodCare Team Up for Blood Drive
WOODWAY, Texas (FOX 44) — We at FOX 44 teamed up with Carter BloodCare for a Blood Drive on Friday!
The event is taking place in our parking lot, located at 8803 Woodway Drive, from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Also, each donor will receive a coupon for a free pint of Blue Bell Ice Cream for as long as supplies last – 'A Pint for a Pint.'
Donors will have the chance to receive what Carter BloodCare officials call a 'mini-physical,' which involves checking their blood pressure, pulse, hemoglobin levels, and temperature. Officials say about 1,100 donors are needed a day for Carter BloodCare, and they're especially needed in the summer.
'In the summer, it's even more important because during the school year, 25 percent of our blood supply comes from drives at our schools, our high schools. During the summer, they're out of school — so we're asking the public to step up, our businesses to step up, to host blood drives,' said Vickie Carpenter, the Manager of Carter BloodCare's Mobile Donor Recruitment.
The FOX 44 team would like to thank everyone who was able to donate today to save lives and boost their own.
