FRANKLIN, TENN - Give the gift of life at Crye-Leike Real Estate Services' blood drive in Franklin on October 30, 2021 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Hosted by Blood Assurance, the drive will take place at the Crye-Leike Franklin branch office, located at 206A Cool Springs Blvd, Ste 101, Franklin, TN 37067.

On October 30, Blood Assurance will have a bloodmobile parked outside of the Crye-Leike Franklin office with fully trained technicians to assist donors. On behalf of Blood Assurance, all donors at this drive will be able to receive free COVID-19 anti-body testing, a t-shirt, and those who donate twice in 2021 will be entered into a giveaway for a Polaris side-by-side.

Approximately 800 pints of blood are needed each day in the Greater Nashville area, with each pint of blood saving as many as three lives. Because of this, Crye-Leike Realtor Joyce Friedman has teamed up with Blood Assurance to organize a drive at each of the 22 Crye-Leike offices in the Middle Tennessee region throughout the coming year. The blood drive at Crye-Leike's Franklin office will be the fourth drive hosted so far.

"Crye-Leike believes in giving back to the communities that give so much to us," said Friedman, a Crye-Leike Realtor who has served her community for 27 years with various community initiatives throughout the years."We are organizing these drives becausethe blood supply is critically low and donations through Blood Assurance benefit patients in our local hospitals.We hope lots of people will join us in giving the gift of life this year."
