Mississippi Blood Services has partnered with Howard Wilson Chrysler Jeep Dodge to sponsor the Road to Life 4 Blood Drive campaign. Everyone who donates blood between May 24 and September 3 will be registered for a chance to win a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Truck with a 5.7 liter Hemi engine! One fortunate donor will drive home in a new vehicle. Many fortunate hospital patients will get back on the road to life because you gave blood.
Strayhorn Dollar General will be having a blood drive on Monday, July 23, from 1 - 6 p.m. The MBS Donor Coach will be at Dollar General. Donors will be automatically registered in the "Road to Life 4" truck give away. All donors will receive a free T-shirt.
"You can save a life just by rolling up your sleeve and donating blood," Tony Bahou, MBS manager of communications and public relations, said. "Donating blood two or three times a year helps keep it available for hospital patients when they need it."
All donors must be at least 17-years-old (16 with signed parental consent-forms available at drive locations and online), weigh at least 110 pounds and have a valid ID.
