Blood Drives Being Held Monday In Your Community

In the mood to do some good on New Year's Eve? Want some free movie tickets? 

Then come out to one of several spots across the Upstate to donate blood. 

The Blood Connection, the Upstate's blood donation organization, is taking its Bloodmobiles to multiple spots on Monday, Dec. 31. 

If you roll up your sleeves and donate, you'll get two free movie tickets.
