should we allow a blood drive in parking of our shopping center?

So one of our current tenant in a retail commercial is asking for permission to bring in the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center and their mobile coach for a blood drive in our parking lot.  He already asked the rest of our tenants and they have no objection to this blood drive.

The plan that he proposes is that he will coordinate with the tenants on this blood drive:

. the mobile blood donor coach coming to the main parking area of our retail strip for a to be determined date in June.

. Typical four and one half hours per session, 10 AM - 2:30 PM, for example.

. Each tenant could recruit a list of donor commitments using their social
media, word of mouth or whatever, to the extent that they wish to put
in effort.

. He will consolidate the donor list and agree the time and date for the mobile donor coach to come to our shopping center.

. Each tenant can offer incentives as they wish for entice donors to come.

. Each tenant can promote the occasion on their social media or however they choose.

. He will attempt to get additional promotions through the CyFair Houston Chamber of Commerce of which he is a member.

We want to say yes to this because:

. A robust blood supply is important to the community. This is a noble cause that we always support.

. The tenants of our retail could use some publicity and promotions, hopefully leading to increased traffic at the shopping center.

However, I am not sure if this will pose any risks to our tenants and to us as landlord?  Should we let them do this blood drive and if yes, what should be done to mitigate risks?  Any advice/tip is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

I would talk to the people running the clinic and ask if they have done this before (guessing they have) and what paperwork they have for liability).
