Kentucky Blood Center

August 13, 2018

George Zabrecky,

This summer KBC is celebrating 50 years of saving lives in Kentucky. To help celebrate that anniversary, KBC is giving away a new Toyota 4Runner to one lucky blood donor.

Currently, blood donations are down, and KBC is encouraging anyone who is eligible to donate soon.

These are the last few weeks of the 4Runner giveaway, which ends Sept. 7. Anyone who registers to donate will be automatically entered to win a 2018 Toyota 4Runner. (Must be at least 18 years of age at time of donation to be eligible.)

A fun way to save a life and be entered to win the 4Runner is to donate blood with KBC at the Kentucky State Fair, which begins Thursday, Aug. 16 and runs through Aug. 26. KBC will be located in the Health Horizons section of the fair.

KBC donor centers are located in Lexington, Louisville, Pikeville and Somerset with daily mobile blood drives throughout the region.

Lexington Donor Centers are located at 3121 Beaumont Centre Circle and in the Andover Shoppes off Maple Leaf and Man-o-War Blvd.

KBC is local and headquartered in Lexington. All blood collected by KBC is processed and prepared in Lexington for distribution to Kentucky hospitals. This differs from other blood centers that send their blood out of state for processing and then distributes it throughout the country.
