Blood Drive Tuesday at Carson Nugget, then again July 9 at Carson City Aquatic Center
Summer is here and the need for life saving blood from donors is in big demand. There are two upcoming blood drives in Carson City where donors are encouraged to give.
The first is Tuesday, June 30, from noon to 6:30 p.m. at the Carson Nugget. The event has been dubbed the Carson City Battle of the Badges blood drive, where law enforcement and fire agencies are encouraged to give as well as the general public.
The drive will be held in the banquet room area at the Carson Nugget, 507 North Carson Street. Call 1-800-696-4484 to make your life-saving appointment today. Hospital patients are counting on the blood from donors.
Then on Thursday, July 9 from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. there will be a Blood Drive at the Carson Aquatic Facility, 841 N Roop Street.
To be a hero, make an appoint at the front desk of the Aquatic Faciliy, online at www.bloodhero.com (Code:CAF) or call 887-2242 and speak to the cashier.
Before you donate, eat a good meal, drink plenty of water, bring your ID. All donors receive a Battle T-Shirt and will be entered into a drawing to win a new 2015 4 Door Toyota Corolla LE Plus, courtesy of Northern Nevada Toyota Dealers.
