Scout
Scout the Donor Dog is a friendly bloodhound, who likes to sniff out blood donors. As the eight-foot tall Kentucky Blood Center mascot, Scout can be seen walking in parades, giving hugs and high fives at community events and encouraging donors at blood drives.
Although Scout can’t talk, he always has a handler with him who can answer your questions about being a blood donor or why donating blood is so important.
Scout’s schedule is pretty busy, but if you’d like to invite him to visit your blood drive or community event, click here to make your request (bmaples@kybloodcenter.org) and Scout will check his schedule.
Leading by Example Awards
Kentucky Blood Center honored four area businesses with the 2009 Leading By Example Awards. East Kentucky Broadcasting in Pikeville, Clear Channel Radio in Somerset, and S&S Tire Auto Service Centers and Clean Sweep Car Wash in Lexington were recognized for their generous and continued dedication to Kentucky Blood Center and Kentucky blood donors.
Pikeville Bus Dedication
Thanks to the generosity of the United States Department of Agriculture, Kentucky Blood Center has a new bloodmobile to use for community blood collections in the Pikeville region. The bus was dedicated at a recent Pike County Chamber of Commerce's After Hours.
