The Blood Bank of Hawaii will hold a blood drive from July 16 through 20, 2018, in East Hawai‘i.

With summer being traditionally a challenging time to get enough donors in the door to meet the Hawai‘i’s patient blood needs, the Blood Bank of Hawaii has a summer giveaway promotion as its way of saying thanks for saving lives.

Blood donors, who take the time to save lives now through Sept. 3, 2018, will be entered to win a weekly giveaway of a $100 Foodland gift card, as well as the grand-prize of a three-night Neighbor Island getaway, compliments of Castle Resorts & Hotels. The grand prize includes airfare on Hawaiian

Airlines and a $250 gift card.
