This Friday, make a difference that truly matters at your neighborhood Gecko’s Grill & Pub. Join the community blood drive on May 29 from 11am–6am at any of the four Gecko’s locations below and help give the gift of life to those who need it most. As a thank-you for rolling up your sleeve and supporting the community, every donor will receive a $50 Gecko’s Gift Card.
SunCoast Blood Centers has been providing safe, high-quality blood products to hospitals and patients across Southwest Florida since 1949 and they've been partnering with Gecko's for over ten years, hosting blood drives at several of the restaurant's locations about 3-4 times each year.
