Blood drive continues through 5 p.m. today, March 7
The Rotary Club of Breckenridge and Carter BloodCare are hosting a blood drive until 5 p.m. today, Thursday, March 7, at Texas State Technical College, 307 N. Breckenridge Ave.
If you’d like to donate blood, click here to register online. Walk-ins are also welcomed.
Each person who shows up to give blood will receive a compact folding umbrella, a handy item for today’s showers. Plus, those who donate blood with Carter BloodCare March 4-17 will receive the 2024 St. Patrick’s Day T-shirt. The green t-shirt features a lucky four-leaf clover printed under the slogan “Irish You’d Donate.” Umbrellas and shirts are available while supplies last.
Texas-based Carter BloodCare provides lifesaving blood resources to more than 200 hospitals across 57 counties in North, Central and East Texas. Last month, Carter BloodCare hosted a blood drive at Breckenridge High School and collected 29 pints of blood.
The next blood drive in Breckenridge will be the annual Battle of the Badges in June.
