Although we weren’t able to defeat Florida, we did make history with the first-ever Rupp Arena blood drive. Donors had the unique experience of taking a shot on the defending NCAA champions’ basketball court before giving blood. Most importantly, the 1,607 donors who gave at Rupp and at our other drives during the week helped stock the shelves with life-saving blood products for many Kentucky patients.</p>http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/42287047279http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/42287047279Mon, 04 Feb 2013 13:41:49 -0500Rupp ArenaKentuckyblood donationblood donorWildcatsBasketballlouisvillecardinalsUKFloridaGatorsNCAA<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6e64a0d18f8717359d92dd26ea3629b2/tumblr_mh19f2KSxQ1rxgnxyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/41360789638http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/41360789638Thu, 24 Jan 2013 10:01:18 -0500rupp arenabig blue slamkentuckyukwildcatsblood donationfloridalexington<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/191d83dde19cbe20aeb6a79b430af194/tumblr_mh36mn6vwA1rxgnxyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/41282719537http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/41282719537Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:18:23 -0500Kentuckykentucky blood centerblood donationSave Lives<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bd0f6f0a94a0d114a9108bf9739c5b80/tumblr_mgf5k5CXKG1s133elo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/41100071744http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/41100071744Mon, 21 Jan 2013 08:25:38 -0500mlkmartin luther king jrjusticegenerosity<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/be7dc8b6eeedf2ede19831dd391283a4/tumblr_mgh0irxpfN1rxgnxyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/40261567164http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/40261567164Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:59:15 -0500blood donor<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/bb8a4df40f1915e4a463c6f681dd2f0a/tumblr_mgd41s2yCE1rxgnxyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/40093713189http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/40093713189Wed, 09 Jan 2013 09:25:04 -0500blood donationblood donorSave Livessurgerychildren<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8e5f0ee96119de57c5766167b5ba475d/tumblr_mg4c07j81X1qhmpo8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://nonprofitorgs.tumblr.com/post/39679205229/its-fundraisingfriday-please-donate-10-to">nonprofitorgs</a></p>http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/39929919927http://kybloodcenter.tumblr.com/post/39929919927Mon, 07 Jan 2013 09:52:19 -0500blood donationcharitygivinggenerosity
