Great Escape: Give Life!

Planning on staying close to home this Memorial Day weekend? Take advantage of these local events at Town Center Mall.

Town Center Mall in Kennesaw is hosting an American Red Cross Blood Drive Saturday, May 28, through Monday, May 30, from 12–5 p.m. in the Sears wing. By donating the gift of life, you will not only be helping the much needed blood supply, you will be the envy of all your neighbors as you mow your lawn in preparation for your cookout in your new free t-shirt.

For donating, you will also receive a VIP pass to the Vans Warped Tour (another escape), and one lucky participant will receive a ticket to the show (escape again). You will also be entered to win one of two pairs of Delta Airlines tickets (yet another escape).

If you happen to donate Saturday, you might as well check out the magic of Macy’s while you’re at the mall. Saturday, May 28, from noon to 4 p.m. Macy’s will be hosting an Outdoor Patio event. You can check out the latest ideas for your “summer escape” patio while hanging out with the team at Star 94 FM. Their van will be parked outside Macy’s doors with music and giveaways.
