Blood drive dates announced




Memorial Blood Centers is partnering with the Minnesota Timberwolves to give thanks to blood donors this winter season.

Persons who donate in November will receive a voucher redeemable for two Minnesota Timberwolves tickets and be entered to win a $200 Visa gift card.

In Cook County, blood drives will be held from 2:30 to 6 p.m. Nov. 16 in the West End; and 8:30 a.m. to noon Nov. 18 at Cook County High School in Grand Marais.

This is the perfect season to start giving as blood donations are typically low during the winter months due to cold weather and snow. Every two seconds someone needs blood and because blood cannot be synthetically made – only volunteer blood donors can help save lives.

For more information or to schedule a donation, call (888)-448-3253.
