Give blood in January and have a chance to win prizes

DARKE COUNTY – Darke County and Community Blood Center (CBC) are ringing in the New Year with a “Winter Extravaganza” of prizes for blood donors! Register to donate during “Darke County Donor Days,” through Jan. 31, at any Darke County Blood Drive, and win some special gifts that Santa may have forgotten to leave under the tree.

Everyone who registers to donate during “Darke County Donor Days” at any Darke County Blood Drive is automatically entered into a drawing for four special prizes: A Kindle Fire, an iPod Touch, a Vizio 32-inch TV, or a Nikon Cool Pix camera. Four winners will be drawn at the end of December and another four at the end of January. (Donors can enter the drawing only once during the campaign).
