Augusta, GA – Critically ill patients at our local hospitals may not know your name but they will never forget your gift of life.

In this season of giving, imagine giving the unforgettable gift of good health and winning an unforgettable gift for you! That is what is happening at Shepeard Community Blood Center blood drives and centers this December. One winner each week will choose from the following Unforgettable Gifts:

$1,000 Pre-paid Visa Gift Card

Plasma TV

MacBook Laptop

Our first Unforgettable Gift winner is Tom Paquette. Mr. Paquette is a faithful volunteer platelet donor at Shepeard West, Shepeard’s Platelet and Plasma Center, at 112 Davis Road in Martinez. Tom chose the $1,000 Pre-paid Visa Gift Card for his Unforgettable Gift. What gift will you choose?

Congratulations to the following people who won $500 Visa Gift Cards in our November drawings:
