Officials with the Kentucky Blood Center say they haven't seen a shortage this low in the 30 years they've worked at the organization.
The annual blood drive competition, Big Blue Slam, is between the Kentucky Blood Center and the LifeSouth Community Blood Center in Florida.
Officials said Monday that while the blood supply always suffers over the summer, it has reached critical levels for many blood types.
