Ansonia &
Mississinawa Valley teams compete for bragging rights
DARKE COUNTY, Ohio – The Mississinawa Valley High School FFA will host
the Ansonia High School FFA in the 6th annual “Blood & Guts Grudge
Match Blood Drive” challenge Monday, June 22 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in
the MVHS gym, 10480 Staudt Road, Union City.
Everyone who registers to donate will receive a free “Donor Surf Co.”
surfboard t-shirt and everyone age 18 and older will also be entered in
the Community Blood Center (CBC) “Get on Board – Give Blood Summer
Blood Drive” drawing to win an all-expense-paid Hawaii vacation for
two. Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online at
www.DonorTime.com or call 1-800-388-GIVE.
The blood drive is open to students, faculty and the community and all
are welcome to “vote” for their favorite team when they register to
donate. The challenge blood drive is a way of supporting the blood
supply during the summer months when no other high school blood drives
are scheduled. The schools alternate hosting the Grudge Match,
and last year’s win by Ansonia continued the trend of the home team
winning on its home court. The Ansonia FFA totaled 38 “votes”
from registered donors to 23 for the Mississinawa Valley FFA to reclaim
the Grudge Match trophy.
Everyone age 18 and older who registers to donate with CBC from May 4
through Aug. 28 will be automatically entered in the “Get on Board –
Give Blood Summer Blood Drive” drawing. REACH magazine is the
media sponsor. The grand prize includes air travel and deluxe
accommodations for eight nights at two island locations. All
taxes, fees and meals are included. The vacation package also
includes pre-paid activities and sight-seeing excursions, plus all
ground transportation.
Eligible donors can enter the drawing a second time when they register
for a second donation during the blood drive period. Official rules are
available at www.givingblood.org.
