JACKSON, TN: — LIFELINE Blood Services and Joe Mahan Ford have partnered up again to save lives! Donate blood with LIFELINE Blood Services from Memorial Day until Labor Day for a chance to win a 2024 Ford Maverick XLT, must be 18 years old to participate.
“Summer is one of the most crucial times for blood donations. Between vacations, family activities, and busy schedules, donating blood can easily slip off the calendar. Unfortunately, the need for blood never takes a summer break, and local patients continue to reply on lifesaving donations every day.
We urge the community to make blood donation part of their summer plans and help us maintain a strong blood supply for hospitals across our region. As a special thank you, donors 18 and older will also have the chance to win a 2024 Ford Maverick XLT!” 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 blood donation made through Lifeline has the power to save lives right here in our community,” said Jeff Mahan with Joe Mahan Ford. “When someone donates blood, they could be helping a friend, neighbor, loved one, or even someone they may never meet. We are honored to partner with Lifeline in support of their lifesaving mission and excited to offer this 2024 Ford Maverick XLT as a way to encourage donors to make a difference this summer.”
