Sara Tremel, a local mother, nearly died during childbirth. As a blood donor herself, she never thought she'd need someone else's blood to save her life.
Stories like Sara's are why Action News Jax Family Focus is hosting the Spring into Action Blood Drive this Monday. We're asking you, our viewers, to donate blood and save lives. You can book your appointment online by clicking here.
The drive will take place at Action News Jax and at participating Family Focus partner locations across town from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Big Red Bus® times may vary depending on location.
All donors will receive:
• A FREE OneBlood Tote Bag*
• A FREE Wellness Checkup, including blood pressure, pulse, temperature, iron count and cholesterol screening.
Plus, make your donation appointment in advance and when you donate, you'll be entered to win a $50.00 Publix Gift Card!** You can book your appointment by clicking here.
Action News Jax will be giving out ticket vouchers to the Jax Icemen for the first 50 donors. Our address is: 11700 Central Parkway #2, Jacksonville, FL 32224.
Anyone who donates at Bozard Ford Lincoln will receive a 20% off service coupon for ANY service at their location.
