Naturals Team With CBCO for 'Bleed Blue Thursday'
CBCO's Springdale Donor Center is located at 3503 S. Thompson Ave. The Bentonville Donor Center is located at 1400 SE Walton Blvd, just behind Krispy Kreme.
Each participant in the drive will receive two tickets to the Naturals game vs. the Tulsa Drillers on Tuesday, August 3rd, a collectible Bleed Blue Thursday t-shirt featuring the Naturals team logo, plus hot dogs chips and sodas. Participants will also be able to enter into a drawing for prizes like signed Naturals gear or even the opportunity to throw out the first pitch at the game!
"We're so excited about the success of the Naturals this year and it should make this year's Bleed Blue Thursday event special," said CBCO Donor Recruitment Manager Meredith Bolt. "This drive just keeps growing every year. I also hope that everyone in the area wears blue on July 22nd to show their support for the team and for saving lives."
The Bleed Blue Thursday Blood Drive is sponsored by the Naturals and Arvest Bank, along with radio stations 92.1 The Ticket, US 94, 98.3 The Keg and News/Talk 1030 KFAY.
