Donate Blood & Receive Free Ice Cream
It may be heating up in the Queen City but Hoxworth Blood Center is offering the perfect tasty solution to cool you down: free Dairy Queen ice cream.
Save lives Wednesday, June 15, through Friday, June 17, at any Neighborhood Donor Center and take home a $5 Dairy Queen Gift Card.
We have seen a decline in donations over the past several weeks, states Alecia Lipton, blood center spokesperson. We need to dramatically increase donations in order to safely meet the need of the community.
Neighborhood Donor Centers reside in eight convenient locations:
Anderson
Blue Ash
Central
Downtown
Ft. Mitchell
Mason
Tri-County
Western Hills
Call (513) 451-0910 to schedule a time to give blood. Due to the anticipated popularity of this event, appointments are encouraged.
Hoxworth is always in need of lifesaving blood. Schedule an appointment by calling (513) 451-0910 or visit www.hoxworth.org.
