Clarksville, TN – Blood Assurance will hold more than a dozen blood drives across Clarksville through the end of June, beginning with a Saturday drive at Café 931 held in honor of Greenleigh Gafford, a Clarksville girl who came through childhood leukemia with the help of blood and platelet transfusions.
The nonprofit regional blood center, which supplies area hospitals and says it is the primary supplier to Vanderbilt Clarksville Hospital, notes that summer is one of the hardest seasons on the local blood supply.
As people travel and head to the water, donations tend to fall just as patient need rises. To encourage donors, Blood Assurance is offering a $25.00 e-gift card to everyone who gives during June, July or August.
