The Players Centre Partners with The SunCoast Blood Bank

By  | 

Join The Players Centre for Performing Arts as they give back to the community with the SunCoast Blood Mobile! The Players is trying to give back to the community as much as possible during this time when they cannot produce live shows and June 10 from 3 to 6pm the Players Centre is doing just that!

There is a great need for blood right now and you could save lives with one donation!

Sign up on The SunCoast Blood Center website (https://donor.scbb.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/26945) or call 1-866-97-BLOOD to schedule a time. Walk ins are also welcome!

For your donation you’ll receive $5 off at Station 400, one voucher per donor to an upcoming Players 91st season production and $10 off at Caragiulos Italian American Restaurant (restrictions apply.) This way, you can help other local companies through this unprecedented time!

If you cannot donate yourself, no problem, just let others in your circle know about it!
