Tusculum vs Carson-Newman Blood Drive Bowl TODAY

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Fans of the Tusculum Pioneers and Carson-Newman Eagles can support their team while aiding the East Tennessee Medic Regional Blood Center by participating in the 13th annual Blood Drive Bowl this week.

The event is part of the festivities leading up to Saturday's football game between the Pioneers and Eagles, which kicks off at 1 p.m. from Burke-Tarr Stadium in Jefferson City. There will be several opportunities to donate blood.

Tusculum has been the top donor in eight of the previous 12 drives, including six of the last seven.

This Wednesday (Nov. 11), Tusculum students, faculty, staff and fans may donate on the Greeneville campus at Niswonger Student Commons from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.

Blood donations may also be given during the week at the MEDIC Regional Blood Center in Knoxville (1601 Ailor Ave.) during the following hours: Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. Please let the screener know your donation should count towards Tusculum College.

All donors will receive a t-shirt and coupons for a free appetizer from Texas Roadhouse.

Donors should bring a valid driver's license or other official photo ID in order to give blood. Medical prescreening and a free cholesterol test (no fasting necessary) will be provided at the sites. One donation a year exempts donors and their IRS dependents from paying blood supplier processing fees at any U.S. hospital.

The winning school will be announced at halftime of Saturday's football game at Burke-Tarr Stadium. Tusculum leads the series 8-4. The Pioneers won the inaugural title in 2003 and again in 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014. Carson-Newman has captured bragging rights four times (2004, 2006, 2007, 2013).

For more information, contact the MEDIC Regional Blood Center at (865) 524-3074 or at www.medicblood.org.
