LifeShare is kicking off the Mardi Gras season by encouraging the public to join the Krewe of Life and give life to the fullest. Donate at any LifeShare donor center on Feb. 6 or Feb. 7 and receive a king cake plus a limited-edition Mardi Gras donor t-shirt.
“Every two seconds someone needs blood. In fact, nearly 30,000 units of whole blood and red blood cells are transfused each day in the U.S. Our donors allow others to live life to the fullest with each donation they make, and that is definitely worth celebrating,” says Mandi Johnson, Director of Community Engagement.
LifeShare is honored to partner with local bakeries and other businesses who are committed to strengthening the community’s blood supply.
King cakes will be available in-center only at all LifeShare donor centers Thursday, Feb. 6th, and Friday, Feb. 7. The centers will have extended hours during the promotion period to allow everyone to take advantage of this exclusive offer. Appointments are encouraged, but not required.
