The Blood Connection Partners with Outback Steakhouse

The Blood Connection (TBC), the community blood center serving the Carolinas and Georgia, is partnering with local restaurant chain, Outback Steakhouse, to call attention to the importance of blood donation this summer.  While TBC has avoided a blood shortage so far, the non-profit community blood center is currently experiencing a shortage of blood donors. The two groups are partnering to host blood drives at select Outback locations, to make blood donation accessible for more community members.

The Blood Connection’s mobile donation units will be at twenty Outback Steakhouse locations across North and South Carolina on July 28.  As a thank you for helping save local lives, all donors will receive a $20 eGift card, redeemable for an Outback eGift card, plus a coupon for a free Bloomin’ Onion.

You can also donate between July 28 and July 30 at a TBC donation center to receive a $20 Outback eGift card and a free Bloomin’ Onion!
