Blood drive aims at crushing Tennessee

The Big Blue Crush blood drive continues throughout the week, where UK competes against the University of Tennessee to donate the most blood.

The Kentucky Blood Center’s 24th annual blood drive is hosted by the UK Center for Community Outreach. UK won the competition last year for the first time since 2002.

All donors will receive a T-shirt and a McDonald’s coupon for a small McCafe beverage. Donors will also be eligble for a $200 gas card, given away each day.

The grand prize is an NCAA Game Package, which includes two tickets to a regular season NCAA game and three days and two nights of hotel accomodations.

To schedule an appointment to donate blood, call 1-800-775-2522 or visit kybloodcenter.org.
