Spring is here and that means it’s almost time to shut down the furnace and fire up the backyard barbecue. Community Blood Center (CBC) hopes to inspire plans for summer grilling with a special giveaway during the April 1 through May 31 “Darke County Days!” Blood Drive campaign.
All you have to do is register to donate at any Darke County blood drive scheduled Monday, April 1 through Friday, May 31 and you will be automatically entered into a drawing to win a new Char-Broil four-burner propane/natural gas grill.
This special giveaway is sponsored by Lowe’s at 1550 Wagner Ave. in Greenville. The Char-Broil four-burner grill features the Surefire electronic ignition at each burner for a reliable start every time. It easily converts from liquid propane to natural gas, and features porcelain-coated cast iron grates.
Plus everyone who registers to donate blood at any CBC branch and most mobile blood drives beginning Monday, April 8 through Saturday, April 27 will received free the “Recycle Life – Give Blood” tote bag. The logo design features red, iconic recycle arrows integrated with a blood drop.
The tan, mesh tote bag is both sturdy and foldable with a reinforced bottom and double handles. It’s made from 20 percent recycled materials and is 100 percent recyclable and reusable. Consider it an ideal companion while shopping for groceries, toting sunglasses and sandals to the beach or for any outing when you have extra stuff to carry!
It will also make you feel good to both give blood, and to have the “Recycle Life – Give Blood” in hand wherever you go on Earth Day, April 22.
