Markley Motors Annual Blood Drive

GIVE BLOOD, SAVE A LIFE AND GET A FREE CARWASH!

For over ten years, in February around Valentine's Day, Markley Motors has held an annual blood drive. Not only is it a time for giving your heart to someone, you can donate the precious fluid your hear pumps to a person in need. Whether it is through a life threatening emergency, disease, or risky surgery people are in need of this precious fluid. You can give life by donating some of your blood.

In conjunction with Poudre Valley health System and the Garth Englund Blood Center, Markley Motors is proud to host the Mobile Blood Center at its North showroom (formerly Saturn of Fort Collins), February 15th, from 8am to Noon. This year, if you donate, you will receive a FREE CARWASH!
