Carlson Law Firm Hosts Halloween Blood Drive with Cool Swag
In a creative spin on Halloween festivities, The Carlson Law Firm is partnering with the Our Blood Institute to host a community blood drive.
Scheduled for Thursday, October 31, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., the event will be held outside the firm's office at 2909 Garnett Avenue. The drive aims to collect much-needed blood donations while offering a bit of seasonal fun.
Look for the bloodmobile
A bloodmobile will be parked at the site, and participants can look forward to a range of perks. In addition to a free glow-in-the-dark t-shirt playfully labeled "Peoplejuice," donors will be entered into a drawing for a Carlson-branded cooler bag.
Make an appointment or walk-in
"Giving blood is crucial, and we're hoping the Halloween spirit encourages people to come out and donate," says Roger Jenkins, the event organizer. Those interested in scheduling an appointment can contact him at 940-285-6333, though walk-ins are welcome.
Take home some swag
With swag, prizes, and a meaningful cause, the blood drive offers the community a unique way to give back this Halloween.
One pint can save up to three lives: A single pint of donated blood can be separated into components (red cells, plasma, and platelets) that can help multiple patients.
Only 37% of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood, yet less than 10% actually do so annually.
