A Wisconsin man who’s been donating blood regularly for almost 30 years is gifted a brand new SUV. Over the last three decades, Shawn McKenna of Milwaukee has been rolling up his sleeve to help people in his community with the gift of blood. His donations have helped to save hundreds of lives and now he’s being rewarded for his good deed.
As a way to encourage blood donation and to offer a reward to donors, Blood health company Versiti created the “Drive to Save Lives Sweepstakes.” Out of 13-thousand donors who donated during the sweepstakes, McKenna was selected as the big winner. He was rewarded for his good deed with a brand new Chevrolet Equinox SUV.
McKenna picked up the habit of donating blood from his parents and he says the reward is “a nice perk,” but it’s not why he donates. He also encourages others to give blood if they’re able.
