Donate blood to receive free Botox treatment in Augusta

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Shepeard Community Blood Center is kicking off its 2nd Annual Botox for Blood event starting on Monday.

Anyone who gives blood at any Shepeard Blood Drive during the event until July 3, will earn a free Botox treatment from Southern Dermatology.

“Blood usage typically increases around the July 4th holiday,” says Shepeard CEO Benjamin Prijatel. “Botox for Blood ensures that local doctors and nurses have the lifesaving tools they need to respond to emergencies.”

Participating donors will receive a $150 gift certificate that can be used for Botox or a similar treatment at Southern Dermatology in Augusta or Aiken.

The certificates are non-transferable and limited to one per person. Donors must meet donor and patient eligibility requirements to qualify for the free Botox treatment.

The event would not be possible without the owners of Southern Dermatology, Mike and Dr. Briana Brown. All Botox treatments are generously donated to Shepeard by Southern Dermatology free of charge.

The inaugural Botox for Blood event in 2023 was very popular, and Shepeard expects even more people to participate this year.

Appointments are strongly encouraged.
