SIDNEY — The Sidney Kiwanis Club will support the Community Blood Center “Wild About Alaska Adventure for Two” Summer Blood Drive campaign by sponsoring a blood drive Tuesday, May 24, from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at American Legion Post 217, 1265 N. Fourth Ave., Sidney. Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call 800-388-GIVE.

Everyone who registers to donate will receive the “We’re Wild About Blood Donors” T-shirt, and will be entered in the drawing to win a custom-designed Alaska vacation for two.

The grand prize includes air travel to Alaska, deluxe accommodations during your week-long stay, and options that may include cruise and land travel combinations. The vacation is for the winning donor and a travel companion.

Everyone age 18 and older who registers to donate with CBC through Sept. 3 will be automatically entered in the drawing to win the Alaska vacation for two. Eligible donors can enter the drawing a second time when they register for a second donation during the blood drive period.

Late spring and summer is a time when high schools on summer break, family vacations and outdoor activities can disrupt donation schedules and challenge the regional blood supply.

In addition, CBC is taking cautions against the Zika virus. Potential donors who have traveled to Zika endemic areas in the Caribbean, Mexico and Central or South America are deferred from donating for 28 days. The restriction is expected to decrease the number of eligible donors by approximately 2.25 percent.
