Julio Jones Kia Mazda has teamed up with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive in honor of the late Tuscaloosa Police Department Investigator Dornell Cousette on Friday, October 25th. 

There is an urgent need for blood donations within the state, as 167 Alabama patients need blood transfusions daily. Nationwide, the American Red Cross must collect over 13,000 pints of blood daily; however, unless you help, they will fall short of their goal.

Donations will be accepted from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on the 25th at Julio Jones Kia Mazda, and those who donate will be given a free t-shirt, free carwash from Houndstooth Car Wash, a gift certificate from Margarita's Mexican Grill, and a half-price oil change from Julio Jones Kia Mazda.
