BLOOD DRIVE MONDAY

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky donors are encouraged to gallop into this upcoming Kentucky Blood Center drive to save lives and get their hands on an exciting new shirt.

All donors who give blood at this KBC drive will receive a “Hold Your Horses” T-shirt (white supplies last) as a thank you for donating.

One in seven people at hospitals will need a blood transfusion for everything from traumas to premature births, surgeries, organ transplants, diseases such as cancer and sickle cell diseases, and so much more.

Whatever the need, blood must be readily available to save a local patient’s life.

Kentucky Blood Center, through the generous donation of blood from donors, provides lifesaving blood products to more than 70 hospitals in Kentucky.
