What:
Vampire romance mania has hit Portland and Walmart is ready to give fans an event to remember for the Twilight DVD movie release this week. The retailer is hosting a variety of Twilight activities including a blood drive, the opening of Twilight shops, giveaways, and a midnight release party

Blood Mobile Drive
Walmart has partnered with the American Red Cross Pacific Northwest Blood Services Region to host its blood mobile to remind customers that it’s not just vampires who need blood, but friends in our community. Every blood donor will receive a special Twilight gift as a thank you.

Gifts will include a special Edward & Bella photo folder and viewing party elements.
