Make your life sweeter by giving others the gift of life this February. All presenting donors during the American Red Cross Life is Sweet Blood Drive will receive a Cookie Cottage cookie and will be entered into a drawing to win one of two pairs of tickets to the Martina McBride/Trace Adkins concert on Feb. 25 at the Memorial Coliseum.  Concert tickets are compliments of U.S. 93.3.
 
The Life is Sweet Blood Drive will take place at two convenient locations in Fort Wayne from Friday, Feb. 19 until Tuesday, Feb. 23.

Consistent and steady blood donations are needed year-round to meet patient need. And while the need for blood is constant, blood donations can sometimes slump. Collecting blood during the winter, for instance, often presents a challenge since cold and snowy weather can prevent donors from making and keeping appointments.
