Walk-ins will be accommodated as available, and all eligible blood donors in the Appalachian Highlands are invited to attend. Interested donors can call 42 or visit to make an appointment.

To help ensure physical distancing and infection prevention, Marsh Regional strongly encourages donors to make an appointment to give. “Teaming up with the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Bristol Herald Courier to host this blood drive is an excellent opportunity for everyone in the Appalachian Highlands to lift up their neighbors, protect their communities and help save lives close to home.”

“Marsh Regional is able to do its work – saving local lives through blood, platelets and plasma – because of tremendous support from the community members who step up to give, as well as the local organizations and businesses that step up to support us,” said Steffanie Sukel, director of Marsh Regional. Donors will undergo a screening and eligibility check inside the old Sears building, while the actual donation will take place on one of Marsh Regional’s mobile donation units. The event will be hosted on the site of the future Hard Rock Casino & Hotel at the former Bristol Mall.Įach donor will receive a snack and a special-edition event T-shirt.

The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Blood Drive, a joint effort of Marsh Regional Blood Center, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and the Bristol Herald Courier, will be held Feb. A special two-day event will soon save lives in the Appalachian Highlands – and give community members a sneak peek at one of the Bristol area’s most exciting upcoming developments.
