PREBLE COUNTY — August is an important month to donate. Donors can help Community Blood Center meet the urgent need for blood and get a chance to pick a prize when they donate at the Eaton Community Church community blood drive Thursday, Aug. 11 from noon-6 p.m. at 813 Camden Road, Eaton, or at the Camden community blood drive from 4-8 p.m. in the First Southern Baptist Church Family Center, 35 North Liberty St., Camden.

Everyone who registers to donate will get the “Hit a Double” insulated beverage bottle, while supplies last. Make an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com, call 937-461-3220, or download the new Donor Time app.

Everyone who registers to donate through Aug. 27 at any CBC blood drive or the Donation Center will be entered in the weekly “Pick Your Prize” drawings for a PlayStation5, a Solo Stove, a YETI Hopper Backpack Cooler, or a Ring Video Doorbell Pro. Each weekly winner will get to choose from the same four prizes.

CBC has new online tools donors can use to save time while they’re helping save lives. Download the new “Donor Time App” from any app store and use it to find blood drives and make an appointment to donate.

Donors can also use “DonorXPress” to complete the donor questionnaire before they arrive for their blood donation. Find DonorXPress on the Donor Time App or at www.givingblood.org/donorxpress.
