Backpack Giveaway – August 1st

The school year is scheduled to start in just a few weeks and the Lafayette Jockey Lot is partnering with DELTA MEDIA on August 1 st to distribute 75 FREE pack-backs (first come /first serve) to our customers.

August 21st – Blood Drive

The Lafayette Jockey Lot will be pairing with Lourdes Blood Donor Center on Saturday August 21 st . The Blood Mobile will be on-site at the Lafayette Jockey Lot accepting Blood Donations from the hours of 8am – 12noon. All donors will receive a free t-shirt, a coupon for a free small ice cream cone and an opportunity to win a $20 Market Buck Coupon. As many of you may know, our good friend and co-worker Gene Medlen suffered a severe injury in late May. It will be a long road to recovery and he now also faces mounting medical expenses. With all donations Lourdes will donate $27 toward this ever-growing medical bill.

Anyone donating at the Blood Center can also contribute by simply giving Gene’s name and date-of-birth. Should you wish to do so, please inquire at the office for the necessary information.
