In memory of their friend Roy Bishop, Bobby Villela and the Loud Boys are looking forward to another successful year for their annual Give Fore Life blood drive on Saturday, Oct. 10 at SeaBreeze Recreation Center.

Bishop received many blood and platelet transfusions during his illness, which inspired Villela and the Loud Boys to host the annual blood drive in his honor.

Each donor will receive a 7thAnnual “Give For Life’” T-shirt, along with free golf vouchers, and coupons to City Fire and other are restaurants. A Rialto movie ticket will also be handed out to those who are capable of donating an automated donation of two units of blood.

The wives of the Loud Boys will prepare a free meal for participants and a wellness checkup, including cholesterol screening, will also be available.

The Give Fore Life Blood Drive will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Appointments can be made on onebblooddonor.org using the sponsor code: 23403 or by calling 1-888-9-DONATE (1-888-936-6283).
