Cats Vs Cards KBC T-shirt.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – It’s the Cats vs. the Cards on Friday in the NCAA Tournament, and Kentucky Blood Center donors can join in the madness. When they donate Thursday or Friday this week, donors will receive a blue and red game-day shirt.

“We are Kentucky Blood Center, and we serve much of the Commonwealth. We know we have donors who bleed blue and others who bleed Cardinal red. It’s a special day when Kentucky and Louisville play in the NCAA, and we think this is a fun shirt with lots of team spirit,” said Martha Osborne, KBC’s Executive Director of Marketing and Recruitment.
