More Blood drive prizes – tis better to give (and you may win)

by aileen on December 17, 2009

Donations for prizes for the Blood Drive Draw are coming in from lots of wonderful places. Yesterday two big companies came forward. Kleinpeter Dairies offered a pint of ice cream for every vivalex pint of blood we get and last night, Vivian Alexander (the decorative egg and objets d’art people donated a beautiful jewelry box (worth $175).. I am just grining at the genorousity of everyone. I will have to make a list of all the donations. I know it’s not why people give blood, but it’s nice, that at Christmas, we can thank them in some way.

Please donate blood if you can. It may be your life you save or the life of someone you love. Click here to sign up
If you can’t donate blood but would like to donate something to say ‘thank you’ to a donor please let me know. They are heroes.
