Autumn is halfway over, believe it or not. And as we sweatily anticipate the arrival of cooler weather, it also means the holidays are right around the corner. Something to remember as you’re downing Wellbutrin in anticipation of family visits, is that available blood stores dwindle to sometimes dangerously low levels during holiday season.

But fear not: the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center is holding a mobile drive at the Regal Edwards Marq*E this Sunday, October 26, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. In addition to increasing the blood supply, all donors will also receive exclusive movie poster sets, including (maybe!) Wicked: For Good and others.

Sign up here or at the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center main website (Donor Code: REG2).
