Versailles KOC
to host 'Get on Board' blood drive
DAYTON, Ohio – The Versailles Knights of Columbus will host a Community
Blood Center (CBC) “Get on Board – Give Blood Summer Blood Drive”
Monday, May 18 from 12:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the KOC Social Hall, 8440
State Route 47. Everyone who registers to donate will
receive a free “Blood Donor Board Meeting” surfboard t-shirt, and those
18-and-older will also be entered in the drawing to win an expense-paid
Hawaii vacation for two. Donors are encouraged to schedule an
appointment online at www.DonorTime.com.
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.
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. 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.
Anyone who registers to donate Monday, May 4 through Saturday, June 13
at any CBC Donor Center and most CBC mobile blood drives will receive a
special-edition, Hawaiian surf board design “Blood Donor Board Meeting”
t-shirt. The orange t-shirt features palm trees and a blue
surfboard with a “Donate every 56 days” inscription.
“Aloha” may be used as a greeting, but in the Hawaiian language it
means affection, peace and compassion. The “Get on Board – Give
Blood Summer Blood Drive” affectionately celebrates blood donor
compassion with a peaceful, expense-paid Hawaii getaway. CBC
traditionally encourages blood donations during the challenging summer
months with a drawing to win a car or motorcycle. This summer’s
campaign promises to send a lucky donor and companion across 4,375
miles of land and sea to an island paradise for an eight-day adventure
of a lifetime.
