Fans of the Tusculum Pioneers and Carson-Newman Eagles may support their team while contributing to the East Tennessee MEDIC Regional Blood Center in the 16th<\/sup> annual \u201cBattle of Mossy Creek\u201d blood drive competition.<\/p>\n

There will be several opportunities to donate.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Oct. 26, Tusculum students, faculty, staff and fans may donate on the Greeneville campus at the Niswonger Commons from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

Blood donations may also be given during the week at the MEDIC Regional Blood Center at the Knoxville Regional Center (1601 Ailor Ave.) during the following hours: Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. Please let the screener know your donation should count towards Tusculum College.<\/p>\n

The event is part of the festivities leading up to Saturday\u2019s football game between the Pioneers and Eagles, which kicks off at 1 p.m. from Burke-Tarr Stadium in Jefferson City.<\/p>\n

Tusculum has been the top donor in nine of the previous 14 drives, including seven of the last nine.<\/p>\n

The winning school will be announced at halftime of the Tusculum\/Carson-Newman football game at Pioneer Field. The Pioneers won the inaugural title in 2003 and again in 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2016. Carson-Newman has captured bragging rights five times (2004, 2006, 2007, 2013, 2015).<\/p>\n

Donors should bring a valid driver’s license or other official photo ID in order to give blood. Medical prescreening and a free cholesterol test (no fasting necessary) will be provided at the sites. One donation a year exempts donors and their IRS dependents from paying blood supplier processing fees at any U.S. hospital.<\/p>\n

Students who donate will receive a free copper tumbler complete with the Tusculum logo or a choice of a t-shirt, a coupon for a free Texas Roadhouse appetizer and a free ice cream from Dairy Queen. In addition, one lucky donor will win two tickets to the Country Cool Comedy Tour at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center in January 2018.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Mossy Creek Blood Drive, MEDIC Regional Blood Center is offering a $500 scholarship to any student who hosts a successful blood drive.<\/p>\n

For more information, contact the MEDIC Regional Blood Center at (865) 524-3074 or at www.medicblood.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
