Don't Wuss Out, Woodhouse!
Face your fears of needles, Woodhouse!
It's no secret that we are all about giving the gift of life at NBZ-FM. We talk about donating blood... and we talk about it often! As the American Red Cross has let us know, the need for blood donations is real!

Every 2 seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood and or platelets.

Blood and platelets cannot be manufactured; they can only come from volunteer donors.

Your Morning Show Host is an ABSOLUTE WUSS!
At a staff meeting one day, we learned that Woodhouse has a very real fear of needles. They had to hold him down to give him a vaccine in middle school. He once attempted to donate blood in 2008 and fainted, but he swiped all the free cookies he could!
That gave us an idea...
When 106 people donate blood, Woodhouse has to donate blood!
So it's a win win... people's lives will be saved, and we will make Woodhouse squirm!
THANK YOU!
Here's a handful of our awesome listeners who helped us reach the goal of 106 blood donations!
Where can you donate blood today?
What's in it for you? Well...
Enter to Win!
It's official... we have reached 106 entries, and Woodhouse cannot "Wuss Out!"
As such, we are no longer accepting entries and will be contacting winners soon.
Thanks for making this possible!
