How badly do our Webster business owners want you to donate blood at this week’s Community Blood Drive? So much that they’ll give you PRIZES just for showing up.
Ok, you might consider that bribery, but they’re willing to help do what they can to encourage community members to attend this week’s two-day community blood drive on June 5 and 6, because the need is critical. Right now the Red Cross is operating on only a 3-day supply of blood, which is kind of scary.
That’s why my spare bedroom is piled high right now with raffle prizes. You’ll see some of them in the photo above, including an incredible gift basket from LaLa of Webster worth more than $225.
Every donor who walks through the door will be handed ten raffle tickets, which can be used to take chances on almost 40 raffle items donated by some very generous local businesses. In addition to the LaLa raffle basket, donors can also try their luck on these prizes:
Gift certificates from:
- Barry’s Old School Irish
- Ploty’s Hometown Tavern
- Webster Hots
- The Filling Station
- ROC & Soul Fitness
- The Chicken Coop
- Eastway Liquor
- Rubino’s
- Natural Alternatives
- The Goodie Shoppe
- Carl’s Pizza
- The Pickled Paintbrush (PLUS a cool kids’ craft)
- Abbott’s
- The North Bee (PLUS gift bags)
- Best to You Spa (PLUS a bottle of wine)
- Kittleberger Florist
- Strike Back Martial Arts
Plus, these prizes:
- Gift basket from Schutt’s
- Beauty products from Beyond Cuts Salon
- Growler gift pack from Knuckleheads
- Gift basket from Hegedorn’s
And there’s more! Each donor will receive a free pint of ice cream from Bruster’s, a chance for a cool $100 from Gerard P. Smith Insurance, a $5 coupon from Superior Solutions … and there might be a few other things I’m forgetting.
Basically, you do NOT want to miss this blood drive. Here are the details:
The drive will be held on Wednesday June 5 at St. Paul’s Church on Hard Road, noon to 7 p.m. and Thursday June 6 at the Webster Recreation Center, 1350 Chiyoda Drive, from noon to 7 p.m. You can make an appointment by calling 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767) or by logging onto http://www.redcrossblood.org. Walk-ins are also welcome.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU to our newest business sponsors this year, LaLa of Webster, The Pickled Paintbrush, The North Bee and The Best You Spa! Thank you SO MUCH for your generosity.
