Clarksville, TN – The Millan Foundation, in collaboration with Blood Assurance and United Community Bank, invites the community to join the “Give Back, Give Blood” blood drive on Friday, October 3rd, 2025, from 1:00pm to 7:00pm. Other friends helping to support and promote this life-saving event includes, A&G Diesel, APSU Athletics, APSU Health and Human Performance, and YAIPAK.
Blood Assurance is the sole blood provider for Tennova Healthcare and the emergency helicopter services transporting patients to Nashville. In Nashville, they serve as the primary provider for Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Centennial Medical Center, and all TriStar facilities, including the trauma center at TriStar Skyline. They also supply blood to select Ascension Saint Thomas locations.
At Vanderbilt alone, a blood transfusion takes place every seven to eight minutes. To meet the ongoing needs of their hospital partners, Blood Assurance requires 540 donors each day. Every blood donation can make a life-saving difference right here in our community.
With local hospitals depending on a reliable supply of blood, giving is not just a generous act, it’s a vital service for neighbors, friends, and family in an emergency or in everyday medical care.
