OBI's 'Pot O' Gold' event
continues through Friday
Donors who give blood at an Our Blood Institute donor center or mobile drive today through Friday will receive a Lotto Pot O' Gold scratch-off with a chance to win a $200 or $100 Visa gift card or other surprises, plus a "Stand Tall and Donate" T-shirt and one free entry to the Museum of Discovery, a news release said.
The promotion aims to keep the blood supply at a healthy level through the month of March. Historically, blood donations have declined in March, partly due to the absence of high school blood drives, contribute around 25% of the communities' blood supply. The gap in collections arises as students are out of school on break during this time, the release said.
The local OBI donation center is located at 149 Section Line Road, Suite G.
