JANUARY

 

 

 

 

ELEMENTARY

SCHOOL BLOOD DRIVE

 

    The award-winning KBC Elementary School Blood Drive enlists school children to recruit adults to be blood donors to protect our blood supply during the lean winter months. January is Fayette County's month. Other central and eastern counties have their drives in February and March. Check with your child's school to see if it is participating.

     

         2007 Sponsor

 

     This 3-day drive, January 31-February2, is a competition between the University of Kentucky and KBC and the University of Arkansas and Community Blood Center of the Ozarks to see who can collect the most blood just prior to the annual UK-Razorbacks game. CKBC collected the most blood in 2006. Can we do it again in '07? It's up to you!

      We also have a cool blue, long-sleeved blood drive shirt for you when you donate!
