Fire Works Pizza To Host Blood Drive In Arlington's Courthouse Area

ARLINGTON, VA — Fire Works American Pizzeria and Bar is partnering with Inova Blood Donor Services to host an Arlington Community Blood Drive on Monday, April 11.

An Inova Bloodmobile will be parked in front of Fire Works, near the intersection of Clarendon Boulevard and North Adams Street, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on April 11.

Members of the public who donate blood on Monday, April 11 will receive $5 off any menu item from Fire Works Pizza in Arlington.

The American Red Cross said it is facing a national blood crisis, the worst blood shortage in more than a decade. Doctors have been forced to make difficult decisions about who receives blood transfusions and who will need to wait until more blood supplies become available, according to the Red Cross.

The public can visit the blood donation website to schedule an appointment at the Inova Bloodmobile outside Fire Works Pizza, or call 1-866-BLOODSAVES (1-866-256-6372) and use sponsor code 8629.

The public also can contact Eva Ramirez at eva@fireworkspizza.com or Jessica Willis Schnitz at jessica.willis@inova.org for more information.

Fire Works Pizza, which opened in 2010, is part of the Tuskie’s Restaurant Group.
