NASCAR FOUNDATION’S FOURTH ANNUAL BLOOD DRIVE SET FOR

SEPTEMBER 11

Each year the blood drive mobilizes some of NASCAR’s biggest entities - drivers, sponsors, teams and tracks - in an effort to help meet the on-going need for more than 39,000 blood donations every day. 

The national effort, spearheaded by The NASCAR Foundation, aims to help maintain safe blood supply levels and lessen the blood shortages that often occur during the summer months and around holidays.

In 2008, 29 tracks participated in the national drive.  The NASCAR Foundation’s overall drive collected 4,261 pints of blood, potentially saving more than 12,000 lives.  To learn more visit www.nashvillesuperspeedway or www.nascar.com/foundation.

You can join the effort by donating blood on Friday, Sept. 11, from 12 noon to 6 p.m. at Nashville Superspeedway ( First Floor Media Center) located at 4847-F McCrary Road in Lebanon.   Please schedule your blood donation appointment online at www.givelife.org.  

All presenting blood donors will receive a gift bag, generously donated by 3M.  You may also register to win a   Nashville Superspeedway 2010 race package and O’Charley’s gift cards.  Plus, the first 150 participants have an opportunity to “take a few laps” around the track behind the pace car!

Donors must be in general good health, weigh 110 pounds or more, and be at least 17 years old (16 with completed Parental Consent Form).   Please bring your donor card or photo ID and allow approximately 60 minutes for the entire blood donation process.
