One lucky person who donates blood at Bob Moore dealerships in Oklahoma City, Edmond or Norman, Saturday, Feb. 6^th will drive away with a 2010 Jeep Wrangler.

Five finalists will be chosen from Saturday's donors at Bob Moore drive locations only. Odds of winning are better than one in 1,000. The Jeep winner will be determined during a ceremony Feb. 13.

"Saturday, our donors will have a great chance to win a shiny new Jeep Wrangler, but their chance to save someone's life is guaranteed," said John Armitage, M.D., Oklahoma Blood Institute president and CEO. "Each blood donation can be used to save the lives of up to three Oklahomans. We're grateful to Bob Moore Auto Group for making this its sixth year of commitment to Oklahoma Blood Institute and the health of all Oklahomans. This partnership shows Bob Moore's support for our community."

Healthy adults, 17 and older, are encouraged to donate. "I've Got Drive" Blood Drive donors will also receive an OBI beanie cap, license plate bracket, health screenings and Members for Life Points, redeemable for merchandise and gift certificates at OBI's online store.
