Bulldogs vs. Gamecocks “Donation Domination Blood Drive” Sept. 11th-15th

CSRA (WJBF) – A battle between football fans is happening on and off the field this September in the CSRA.

Ahead of the highly anticipated football game between the Georgia Bulldogs and the South Carolina Gamecocks, Shepeard Community Blood Center is hosting the first-ever Donation Domination Blood Drive September 11th-15th.

Fans of both teams will be rolling up their sleeves to see who is most passionate about saving lives. Anyone who donates during the event can score points for their favorite school.

At the end of the week, the team with the most donations will be crowned the winner.

“We have a lot of passionate football fans in the CSRA, and every Saturday, they’re cheering for different teams,” said Shepeard CEO Benjamin Prijatel. “We’re hoping this friendly competition is a fun reminder that our community is very diverse, but at the end of the day, we all rely on each other’s teamwork to ensure blood is available in the CSRA.”

Shepeard is the only local blood center that collects, tests, and distributes blood to hospitals within the region.

In addition to helping their team win, all donors will receive a free Sonic Route 44 drink and points to cash in at Shepeard’s online donor store.

Donors are encouraged to make an appointment and complete the medical questionnaire before arriving to donate. A full list of donation locations can be found at shepeardblood.org.
