Blood Assurance is teaming up with the Cherokee Area Council of Boy Scouts of America to host a weeklong blood drive at Chattanooga-area donor centers and mobile blood drives.
Community members who donate blood during Boy Scout Week, happening Tuesday through Friday, Sept. 6-9, will receive a Boy Scout coupon card valid at several restaurants and businesses. A coinciding campaign also will reward donors with an “I Bleed” college T-shirt.
The Boy Scout coupon card offers deals and discounts at Ace Hardware, Arby’s, Chattanooga Lookouts, Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, Fazoli’s, Food City, Honey Baked Ham, Papa John’s, Smoothie King, Sport Clips, Sportsman’s Warehouse and Sweet Frog.
“Our goal at Boy Scouts of America is to prepare our Scouts to have a fulfilled life by giving back to the community,” says Scott Martin, program director for the Cherokee Area Council. “Partnering with Blood Assurance will help our Scouts learn the importance of blood donation and how it benefits our community.”
Headquartered in Chattanooga, the Cherokee Area Council serves more than 6,600 youth in Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia with the help of more than 1,700 volunteers.
