94.5 KTI Country’s “KTI Bleeds Country” blood drive collected 512 lifesaving units in one day for BloodCenter of Wisconsin. KTI Country artists Dierks Bentley, Dan & Shay, Russell Dickerson, and Chase Rice all were on the air to encourage listeners to give. In addition, Josh Gracin and Brandon Lay performed live to entertain the donors. Five hundred and one donors participated in the first-year blood drive, which included a partnership with Summerfest, the “World’s Largest Music Festival.” One donation can save up to three lives and a total of 512 units were collected. During the winter months when weather and illness often cause donations to decline, the donated blood will help patients in Milwaukee and across Wisconsin. Each donor received a ticket to Summerfest and were eligible to win prizes, including autographed guitars from Keith Urban and Scotty McCreery and tickets to a Milwaukee Brewers game.
