Donors will find the Carter BloodCare station on the upper level near Dillard’s, between the Dallas Cowboy Pro Shop and Scrubs Style. For easiest access, donors should enter the mall at Entrance #2. Each donor will receive a pair of movie tickets.

All donors must weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good general health and present a photo ID. Donors are advised to eat a nutritious meal and drink plenty of water before giving blood.
