 We are the women of the PMC Lawson Cancer Center. We are here to support your journey, deliver hope, and provide solutions that will advance your care. Our purpose is saving lives. From November 14th to 18th, the Kentucky Blood Center is hosting the 35th annual Big Blue Crush. The Blood Drive acts as a competition between Kentucky and Tennessee to encourage football fans to donate during the holiday season. Donations can be made either by appointment or walk-in. Big Blue Crush is an annual competition that we have versus Medic Regional Blood Center in Tennessee. This is actually gonna be the 35th edition of the competition. It used to line up with the Kentucky Tennessee football game. Obviously the schedule for football has changed a little bit, so that game has already happened. But it's on the calendar specifically for in the middle of November every year to help with the blood supply both in Kentucky and Tennessee. The Thanksgiving holiday coming up, that is always a time when the need for blood is gonna go up. People are traveling more. The holidays, just naturally, we are going to have an increase in demand around that time. On top of donating for a good cause, all donors will receive a football school long sleeve shirt. One lucky winner will receive four tickets to Kentucky versus Louisville on November 26th at Kroger Field. As far as the football school shirt is concerned, every donor that comes in and donates is actually gonna get that. It's kind of a nice honoring the football team's recent rise of the last few years. It's a cool item we think folks are gonna really like with the football school shirts. And in addition to that, every donor that comes in is going to be registered to win four tickets to the UK Louisville football game later than November. I'm a big believer that folks wanna give back and wanna help. And this is something you can do to help your community that doesn't cost anything but a little bit of your time. You know, it only takes again 45 minutes an hour and with the way we split the blood, you're gonna save up to three lives. So if you're looking to give back and looking to help your community, I can't think of something that has a bigger impact than it's easier to do than giving blood.
