The Blood Assurance Bloodhound, a mobile blood donation unit, is set to be at Cartersville Medical Center on Sept. 26 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. near the main entrance.
WHY give blood?
You are giving the gift of time, the gift of another "I love you, Mommy," another chance for us to watch our child grow, another day to make memories.
—Stephanie Ogle, mother of Peyton, age 6
A lot of people don’t know what it’s like to save a life, and they don’t realize giving blood can do that. Take a few minutes out of your day, and save a life.
—Sean Lankster, blood donor
Donors will receive a free T-shirt and will be registered to win a pack of Family Game Night games.
