The good folks at BloodSource have slated their 8th Annual Summer Blood Drive for this Friday, and they’re using pizza, ice cream and assorted other goodies to lure donors.
The blood drive runs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 1880 Park Marina Drive. Donors can get commemorative T-shirts, coupons for more free ice cream and automatic entry into a weekly $250 drawing.
Mmmm, ice cream.
