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