Illinois Leads the Way

Give-a-pint, get-a-pint blood drive; donors get free drinks at day-after St. Pat's event - WQAD: "An unusual give-a-pint, get-a-pint blood drive in St. Charles will extend donors' St. Patrick's Day holiday.

The day-after event on Thursday will give free drink coupons to people who donate a pint of blood. The coupons are redeemable for a drink at Rookies' Pub in St. Charles. Other St. Patrick's themed giveaways and events are on tap for donors as well."
