 Kentucky Blood Center and Tennessee MEDIC is having a competition big blue crush. It lasts from Monday through Friday November 18th at the 22nd. We've been going now for 32 years. It's our 32nd annual. Kentucky has won 17 of those. MEDIC has won 13 and last year MEDIC did take our eight-year winning streak away. Our goal is 3100 sticks this year. So far within the past three days we've had over 1700 sticks. So we we're almost to our goal and you can come in and receive a big blue crush t-shirt and McDonald's coupon and each donor is registered to win a four-pack ticket to Kentucky and Louisville football game that they will play on November the 30th. So you do have to be at least 16 years old. 16 has to have a parental consent and it takes about 30 minutes the entire process. You come in you're out of here within 30 to 35 minutes. Within that time frame the one unit of blood that you donate can save up to three lives. Personally me working here I feel like I'm giving back to the community not only by helping people by taking their blood and helping patients but I've also given 67 times and knowing that within those 67 donations how many lives that I've saved. I've done what I feel like I needed to do in case you never know when you're gonna need blood yourself. We just encourage everyone to come out and donate blood and help us beat medic this year but most importantly we just want everyone to get involved.
