Give Thanks. Give Blood. Give Back. Blood Drive

Gecko's Grill & Pub and SunCoast Blood Centers are holding a fall drive under the banner Give Thanks. Give Blood. Give Back. The first round is at the Fruitville pub on North Cattlemen Road and the Clark Road location at Palmer Crossing. A second round keeps those two and adds the Stickney Point pub on South Tamiami Trail and the State Road 70 location at Twelve Oaks Plaza in Bradenton. Each donor at a participating Gecko's gets a Gecko's gift card while supplies last. The blood stays local: SunCoast is the only local supplier for hospitals in Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte and DeSoto counties, and one pint can help save up to three lives.
