SIDNEY — The Shelby County community will sponsor the third annual Shelby County Relay For Life Blood Drive as part of the annual Relay For Life fundraiser for the American Cancer Society Friday, Aug. 3, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The Community Blood Center Bloodmobile will be at the Shelby County Fairgrounds, at Fair Road and Highland Ave., Sidney. Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or call 1-800-388-GIVE.

Communities across the country come together at more than 3,500 relay events to remember loved ones lost, honor survivors of all cancers, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society make a global impact on cancer.

The Shelby County Relay For Life 2018 fundraising goal is $144,000. Find out more at Shelby County Relay For Life.

CBC is honoring donors with the new “We Are the Brave – We Are Blood Donors” t-shirt, a gift to everyone who registers to donate with CBC from July 23 through Sept. 1.

Summer donors also have a chance to win a $5,000 home improvement gift card, the grand prize in the “Build a Better Blood Supply Summer Blood Drive” campaign.

Everyone who registers to donate May 29 through Sept. 1 is automatically entered in the drawing. (Donors must be age 18 by Sept. 1 to win). Eligible donors can enter a second time when they register for a second donation during the blood drive period. Official rules are available at www.givingblood.org.
