AUGUSTA, Ga. — One Georgia blood center is making sure its efforts are not in ‘vein’.

It is a new campaign the Shepeard Community Blood Center said is no ‘type O’ (pun intended).

While donating blood can at times be ‘A negative’, the blood center and Southern Dermatology are coming together to give donors ‘A positive’ experience -- and a special treat.

Anyone who donates blood between July 5 and July 7 will receive a free Botox treatment.

According to WSB’s ABC affiliate WJBF-TV, the treatment is valued at $120. It is one treatment per donor.

Shepeard CEO Benjamin Prijatel told WJBF-TV that the center is grateful for the partnership. “In what would normally be a very stressful week, Southern Dermatology is turning frowns upside down – both literally and figuratively,” Shepeard CEO Benjamin Prijatel said. “We are very grateful for this partnership and their generosity.”

Information about the blood drives can be found on Shepeard Community Blood Center’s website. The center states that one blood donation can save up to three lives.
