A blood drive is scheduled to be held by the Providence Blood Donor Center at A New Smile Dental Group in Santa Clarita on Saturday, Feb. 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., event officials announced Monday.

Hosted in partnership with A New Smile Dental Group, the SCV Latino Chamber of Commerce and KHTS AM-1220, center officials are asking the public for assistance in collecting a total of 30 pints of blood with a special “plea” for O and A blood types

“I’m challenging four people to a blood race at 10 a.m. to see who can drain the fastest,” said Carl Goldman, co-owner of KHTS AM 1220. “I’ve only been defeated once in the last twenty years that we’ve been doing this. A Bowman High School student defeated me. I’ve left mayors, sheriff chiefs and other dignitaries in the dust.”

There will be food, games and prizes for donors, and all donors are set to receive a coupon for a pint of Baskin Robbins ice cream.

Center officials also ask that all donors drink plenty of fluids and eat a nutritious meal prior to donating blood.
