LIFELINE Blood Services Announces Battle of the Armed Forces
Jackson, TN – LIFELINE Blood Services is embracing the spirit of friendly competition to make a life-saving impact! Starting on Monday, November 11th at both LIFELINE center locations is a blood drive contest known as the Battle of the Armed Forces. This marks the 4th Annual Battle of the Armed Forces event, which will run until Friday, November 16th.
During this period, we encourage donors to visit LIFELINE centers at either 183 Sterling Farms Drive, Jackson, TN, or 1130 Highway 51 Bypass Suite 19 & 20, Dyersburg, TN. Here’s the twist – when donors contribute, they have the opportunity to do so on behalf of one of the Armed Forces branches. Donors will simply sign in on the designated sheet representing the chosen organization. It’s important to note that this blood drive extends its warm welcome to everyone, not just military personnel.
“Giving blood is a great way to honor a Veteran in your life,” states Melinda Reid, Marketing Manager for LIFELINE Blood Services. “Last year was our 3rd Annual Battle of the Armed Forces and Army won the Battle! 91 units were collected which impacted up to 273 lives of West TN patients. Every blood donation can save up to 3 lives, so we encourage everyone to come in and donate.”…
