Randi Herbst of Richmond donated at her company’s blood drive in July and because of that generous gesture she can now start planning a dream vacation.
As a winner of Kentucky Blood Center’s Give & Go! summer promotion,
Herbst, 27, receives a $5,000 AAA travel voucher that she can use
for one big vacation or several smaller trips.
The lucky donor was one of more than 8,100 people who registered to
give blood in July. “When I donated at our blood drive I remember
wondering who wins these things,” said Herbst, who works at L-3
Communications and has given blood 10 times. Although she hasn’t had
much time to dream about her upcoming vacation, Herbst thinks
Australia, Hawaii or Europe sound quite inviting.
One more lucky winner will be selected Sept. 1. Everyone who
registers to donate in August is automatically eligible. For
