The drive will be held at Quake.con 2014, a bring your own computer and game event. Participants who choose to donate blood will receive an official The Evil Within prize pack. “Quake.con has a great group of attendees who we think will want to help the community by donating blood,” said Peter Hines, VP of PR and Marketing at Bethesday Softworks. Donors must be at least 17 years old and meet the requirements set forth by the American Red Cross, which can be found at the Red Cross Website.

The blood drive is scheduled for Friday, July 18th and Saturday, July 19th from 11am until 5pm. Quake.con will be held from Thursday, July 17th through Sunday, July 20th. Both events will be held in Dallas, Texas at the Hilton Anatole Hotel.
