NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Every two seconds in the United States, someone needs life-saving blood.

The American Red Cross has helped provide that blood and platelets for decades. Of course, the organization — founded in 1881 — does much more. Trained workers and volunteers are always ready when disaster strikes.

Watch me talk about their efforts in the player above.

On Thursday at Belmont University, a special event to honor individuals and groups who take on that mission. I was happy to take part in the Nissan Lifesaver Luncheon, hosted by the Nashville Area Red Cross chapter.

It also served as a key fundraiser. The Red Cross can't continue their important work without all of our help.

They always welcome monetary donations, and of course, donations of blood. If you can help in any way, check out redcross.org for more information.

Meet Trashley! New commercial pays tribute to 1970s Tennessee anti-litter ad

You'll love her and you'll love to hate her! Meet Trashley: the bad girl of Nashville littering. She stars in a new campaign that's a throwback to an anti-litter movement from years past. Her role has been reimagined by NDOT as a fast-paced, Dukes of Hazzard-style wrecking ball of a lady. You'll find yourself cracking up as you meet the actress behind Trashley and hear how she landed the role of Queen of Trash.
