Miller-Keystone Blood Center (MKBC) is hoping to attract blood donors with the promise of a free, limited-edition “Ugly T-Shirt, Good Looking Blood Donor!” holiday t-shirt. The promotion runs through Tuesday, Dec. 31, while supplies last.
Donors can receive the complimentary t-shirt at any MKBC donor center, including Allentown (Cedar Crest), Allentown (Hamilton), Bethlehem, Easton, Pittston, Reading or Ewing/Trenton (NJ).
MKBC officials are reminding the community that winter is often a challenging time for blood centers, with holiday activities, inclement weather and seasonal illnesses often keeping donors away. However, approximately 350 blood donations are needed daily by regional hospitals to meet the needs of accident victims, cancer patients, premature babies and others requiring lifesaving transfusions.
Those interested in donating blood can find information on donor eligibility, upcoming promotions and giveaways on the MKBC website at GIVEaPINT.org. Appointments can be scheduled through the MKBC Mobile App, the MKBC website or by calling 800-B-A-DONOR (223-6667).
