Be a part of something great during Collin Creek Mall's blood drive Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 16 and 17

Published: Monday, February 11, 2013 1:06 PM CST
2013 is the year to be a part of something great by donating blood. Collin Creek Mall makes it convenient to do just that, when on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 16 and 17, the shopping center hosts Carter BloodCare’s mobile donor unit. From noon to 6 p.m., the unit will be in the parking lot on the east side near Sears.


Walk-in donors are welcome, but individuals can make an appointment by calling 817-412-5245. Donors with appointments will be taken first.

Potential donors must be at least 17 years old, or 16 years old with a parent’s consent, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good general health. Photo ID is required. There is no upper age limit for donors, and most medications do not interfere with donor eligibility. Carter BloodCare recommends eating a nourishing meal and drinking plenty of water before donating. For information about eligibility, visit www.carterbloodcare.org .

Carter BloodCare is the largest blood center in Texas and is accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks, licensed by the Food and Drug Administration and a member of America’s Blood Centers.

Collin Creek Mall features over 130 specialty shops and eateries including Macy’s, Dillard’s, jcpenney and Sears. The shopping center is conveniently located at US 75 Central Expressway and 190 Bush Turnpike. For directions, visit www.collincreekmall.com <http://www.collincreekmall.com>  or call 972.442.1070.
