MEDIC Regional Blood Center is once again teaming up with David and Yvonnca Landes for the 7th Annual Keeping the David Landes Miracle Alive Blood Drive on November 6 from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM at Petro’s in West Knoxville.
The event is a celebration of David Landes who was a blood recipient. David and Yvonnca are both real estate appraisers, mortgage brokers and realtors.
“Partnering with Yvonnca and David is a great way to collect the blood that we need as well as celebrate a blood product recipient,” said Director of Marketing and Donor Recruitment Kristy Altman. “Each year, this drive is bigger than the year before and we are looking forward to November 6.”
MEDIC will have two buses onsite for the drive. Donors will be eligible to win prizes throughout the day. Additionally, both breakfast and lunch will be served. Donors will receive the special MEDIC fall t-shirt and coupons for Texas Roadhouse and Salsarita’s.
