Congratulations, Mark Jones

The Blood Center East Texas congratulates Mark Jones, a winner in the April Diamonds for Donors giveaway! Jones, a resident of Livingston, won a pair of his-and-hers 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.

Jones received his winning ticket during a recent donation at the Polk County Courthouse, where he works. He also has donated at Sam Houston Electrical Co-Op, a Commit for Life group that hosts quarterly blood drives. Jones has given blood many times throughout his life, but just recently chose to Commit for Life and help patients on a quarterly basis. His Commit for Life membership qualified him to receive the scratch-off ticket and subsequently win the watches, which he will share with his wife, Jamie.
