Big Blue Slam, an annual competition between Kentucky and Florida, is back at Kentucky Blood Center, offering donors a meaningful way to one-up the Gators. This upcoming blood drive will play a key role in the annual blood contest with LifeSouth Community Blood Center in Gainesville, Florida. As a thank you for saving local lives, all donors will receive a limited-edition Slam T-shirt, plus entry to win two tickets to the UK-Florida men's basketball game on January 31 in Rupp Arena.
