Jackson, Tenn. — LIFELINE Blood Services and Joe Mahan Ford have partnered up again to save lives.
Donate blood with LIFELINE Blood Services from now until Labor Day for a chance to win a 2019 Ford EcoSport; you must be 18 years old to participate.
“Summer is a crucial time for donating blood. We become busy with summer events and vacations, so donating blood tends to fall off of people’s radar. However, there is no summer break when it comes to needing donations and the need stays constant, so we ask that you put blood donation on your summer schedule,” said Melinda Reid, Marketing Manager with LIFELINE Blood Services.
Joe Mahan Ford in Paris knows that they are making a difference and encourages everyone that is feeling well and healthy to donate.
“We know that donating blood with LIFELINE impacts our communities and saves lives. You could be saving the life of a family member, a neighbor, or someone in your community. We are pleased to partner with LIFELINE and support their life saving mission,” said Jeff Mahan with Joe Mahan Ford.
