blood donation

Tragedies like the one in Uvalde this week just drive home the point of how important blood and blood banks are.

There is an urgent appeal for East Texans to donate blood as the current available blood supply is critically low.

With blood donations down it's a crucial time to donate to the Tyler Red Cross. And BONUS. They'll test for COVID-19 antibodies too.

Carter BloodCare in Tyler is offering a pretty sweet gift for anyone who donates blood during the month of June. If you donate during their 'Summer Gives" blood drive you will receive two free movie tickets. The blood drives are happening at various dates and locations around Tyler. Check out the list after the jump.

The "Call to Arms" Blood Drive wraps up today and 96X along with all of the Townsquare Media radio stations in Tyler-Longview are participating in conjunction with Carter BloodCare to raise the blood supply levels after the holiday season. Get details on how you can help - and possibly win a trip for two - after the jump.
