Congratulations, Carl Burch!

Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center is pleased to congratulate Carl Burch, the first winner in April’s “Diamonds for Donors” giveaway. Burch became the winner of a his-and-hers set of watches from IW Marks Jewelers when he received a winning scratch-off ticket for his recent blood donation.

During the month of April, all Commit for Life members who donate or attempt to donate receive a scratch-off ticket that could make them the winner of a terrific prize, like points for the Commit for Life store, watches or a piece of diamond jewelry, also from IW Marks. In the end, only 12 individuals will win watches; only one will win the diamond jewelry.

Burch is a resident of Sugar Land and a Commit for Life donor at his workplace, NRG Texas’ W.A. Parish Plant in Thompsons. He began helping save lives about a year ago because his company’s quarterly blood drives presented a convenient opportunity to help others, he said. Burch was thrilled to win his “Diamonds for Donors” prize, which he will share with his wife, Christie.
