I'm sure they will accept anyone. Blood is always on short supply. This is a GREAT idea. But yes, you have to be 17 to give.

**FOX SPORTS** · 02-25-2007, 01:59 AM

I think they are looking for ANYONE(over 17) in each community to help out AND show your support for your school...a friendly competition for a GREAT cause.

I agree. Nice clean fun competition before the nastyness begins. lol Great idea.

This is a great idea. Giving blood is always a good thing to do and I try to make a habit of it whether I get something out of it or not but helping your school, alumni, or local team is a great way to get spirits up for tournament time.

If you have a cold can u still give blood?

**thetribe** · 02-27-2007, 02:14 AM

If you aren't on any antibiotics you PROBABLY still can. Just go and try. Fill out the questions and see.

alright thanks, I have a freakin cold and district and regions are coming up lol..

Hope you feel better. I am not positive on regulations for donation but I am thinking that antibiotics restrict you. I don't think that other medications will. Hope that helped.

Any idea if they are doing this any where else? I am going to the 56th district tourny and I would like to give......

**thetribe** · 02-27-2007, 06:38 PM

So far I've only heard of it being in the 59th district but maybe other locations will hear of it and catch on. Contact the local Central Kentucky Blood Center and ask.
