Casey and Melinda Donahew presents “Boots and Blood” Drive at Billy Bob’s Texas 81 Club
Saturday, August 8 | 9 AM – 3 PM | Billy Bob’s Texas 81 Club
Did you know that every two seconds, someone in America requires blood? People with cancer, trauma patients, premature babies, accident victims and more.
As a national network, the Red Cross has a responsibility to meet the demand for blood and help ensure it is available for patients whenever and wherever it is needed, but we need your help. The coronavirus pandemic has caused a decline in blood units collected.
Casey and Melinda Donahew are partnering with the American Red Cross to help fill this gap. Please join us for the “Boots & Blood” drive hosted at Billy Bob’s Club 81 on Saturday, August, 8th, 2020. We also encourage you to make a financial gift to ensure the American Red Cross can continue to provide blood when it is needed most.

Casey will be playing music throughout the day, so the donors can hear some live music while they donate!
Red Cross is taking all safety precautions to protect donors and staff. Everyone that comes into the blood drive will have to wear a mask and have their temperature taken. All surfaces are completely sanitized between donors. As an added benefit, all blood, platelet, and plasma donations will be tested for COVID-19 antibodies as an additional health service to blood donors.
Note: The Red Cross is not testing donors to diagnose illness, referred to as a diagnostic test, and a positive antibody test results do not confirm infection or immunity; a positive antibody test indicates potential exposure to the virus.
Unable to donate blood, but would still like to help out? Make a donation here!
