donate blood~save lives

This summer, donate blood and be eligible for a weekly drawing to win Two Free Tickets to any Tennessee Smokies home game and a monthly drawing for a gas grill from The Home Depot. All donors receive a free Chick-fil-A sandwich coupon. Don’t forget that Pilot and Medic have teamed up this summer to give one blood donor a $100 gas card each week. One donor from the previous week will be drawn each Monday. The contest will run through the end of summer. Donate blood and you could be a lucky winner! Medic has a need for all blood types at this time. Donors can donate at any of our seven daily mobile site or one of our two fixed sites:  1601 Ailor Avenue near downtown, Knoxville and 11000 Kingston Pike in Farragut near Pittsburg Paints. Medic Regional Blood Center is the sole provider of blood and blood products for 28 area hospitals in 21 counties. Blood drives in your area:
