Give the gift of life, beat the Cats again and get multiple gifts in return!

Fans of the Kentucky Wildcats have won the Battle of the Orange and Blue for the past several years. MEDIC wants Vol fans to show off their Volunteer Spirit and beat those Cats this year!

Knoxville — If you were watching the Vols game this past weekend, you were in for a treat. The Vols defeated No. 11 Kentucky 24-7 in a home game that means Tennessee only needs to win one of their two final games to be bowl-bound.

But that doesn't mean the competition against the Cats is over!

MEDIC Regional Blood Center is hosting a blood drive for fans of the Orange and the Blue alike with its 31st Battle of the Orange and Blue that runs from November 12 through November 16 to see which school's fans can donate the most blood.

Kentucky has won for the past several years, MEDIC said on its website, seeking everyone's help "to break the streak."

MEDIC is concerned that because the game already happened, there will be a decline in donors from years past.

"At its peak, the competition was responsible for over 6,500 blood donations; most recently, only 4,600 donors participated," its website said. "However, we have faith this year will be the year!"

Prove them right and get out there and donate! You'll even get multiple gifts in return for the good deed, including a $10 Amazon Gift Card, Free Long Sleeve T-Shirt, a Free small pizza from Papa John’s, a Free ticket to the Fantasy of Trees, and a Free Texas Roadhouse Appetizer!
