The American Red Cross will be accepting donations of blood on Monday, May 9, from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. at the Cumberland River Hospital and all donors will be entered into a sweepstakes drawing to win a two night stay at Gaylord’s Opryland Hotel, two VIP passes to the Grand Ole Opry, a backstage tour at the Opry House (based on availability at time of travel) and one $300 Visa Gift Card.

Every two seconds someone in American needs blood and since only about eight percent of eligible blood donors give blood, the need is constant.  With Country in your Blood, you can make a difference. Help give someone another chance to salute the stars and stripes or another chance to hum the tunes of a favorite country artist.
