Donate Blood In Gilroy, Win A Trip To The Super Bowl?

SOUTH BAY, CA — With holiday travel at a record-high, blood supplies
are dwindling. All blood types are needed, but the American Red Cross
said Monday that its Type O stores can only last three days. On the
weeks of Christmas and the New Year, an estimated 500 additional blood
drives would have been needed to meet patient demand, but travel plans
can get in the way, the Red Cross said.

One donor who pitches in to help bolster the post-holiday season
blood supply from Jan. 1 to Jan. 19 will be sent to Super Bowl LIV in
Miami, thanks to a partnership between NFL and the Red Cross, the
organization announced in a press release. The winner will receive two
Super Bowl tickets, two round-trip plane tickets, a three-night
beachfront hotel stay and entry to the NFL tailgate and a $500 gift
card.

“Lifesaving medical treatments and emergencies never take a holiday,”
said Paul Sullivan, senior vice president of Red Cross Biomedical
Services in a press release. “Declines in donations can affect patient
care."
