Corsicana Summertime is the slowest time of the year for blood donations, but its also a crucial time for patients who have been involved in accidents, cancer patients, and more.

In order to drum up some donations, the American Red Cross is giving away a $5,000 scholarship. The scholarship will be given away in a drawing to a young donor, and anyone aged 16 to 21 can enter to win.

Older donors can enter a different drawing, one for a new Gibson guitar, as well as receive a rock and roll-themed T-shirt.

The Gibson Foundation is giving away multiple Gibson guitars and 50,000 guitar picks between May 22 and July 31.

The next Red Cross blood drive will be from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. June 7 at the First United Methodist Church. Donors can schedule an appointment by calling (800) 733-2767.
