If you are looking for a great way to honor the tragedies of September 11th, you might be interested in an opportunity to give blood at Darlington Raceway.

Free food and beverages will be provided throughout the day courtesy of Bojangles'.

Most healthy people 17 and older, 16 with parental consent, who weigh at least 110 pounds are eligible to donate blood and platelets. Donors who are 18 and younger must also meet specific height and weight requirements.
