Straight Blast Gym is excited to announce that we will be hosting a blood drive in May of 2020!
During this difficult time, blood donors are in great need. The COVID-19 virus has flooded hospitals and created a demand for blood plasma, due to so many blood drives being cancelled. SBG Buford is stepping in to help those in need!
Straight Blast Gym will be the host-site for a blood drive on Friday, May 8th.
The American Red Cross will be setting up shop in our gym between the hours of 10am and 3pm. You can set up an appointment by clicking on the link below and creating an account. There is no fee to donate blood, and you are helping to save lives!
