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

When you're going about your day, you're probably not thinking about the available blood supply in East Texas, in fact, you probably never really think about it all.

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

Another "grim result" of the winter weather: The community blood supply is dangerously low. Carter BloodCare urgently asks East Texans to give blood ASAP.

It was part of a holiday promotion to help with the dwindling supplies of blood during this pandemic

You must make an appointment and go through a screening process.

Carter BloodCare needs you help. Summer is a critical time for blood donations, and they are asking you to please donate if you are able.

In the aftermath of chaos and lives lost in Dallas recently, Carter BloodCare is grateful to loyal blood donors who made sure the blood center could supply local hospitals with blood products required to treat police officers and civilians, injured during an ambush following a protest march.

Mix 93-1, 101.5 KNUE, Hot 107-3 Jamz and 96X have teamed with Carter BloodCare of East Texas to host the annual Call To Arms Blood Drive from Jan. 7-12 to help save the lives of East Texans and to raise the blood supply levels here in the area.  It's comforting to know that for every pint of blood that is donated, it can help save up to three lives.

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.
