    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
     
    Be a #1 Fan to Hospital Patients in Need
     
    April 17, 2018 (Duluth, MN) – Memorial Blood Centers is teaming up with the Minnesota Twins to give blood donors a chance to win Minnesota Twins tickets!  Present to donate at any Memorial Blood Centers blood drive or donor center from May 24 through June 30, and you’ll be automatically entered to win. Visit MBC.ORG/TWINS for details.
     
    Memorial Blood Centers invites all eligible blood donors to roll up their sleeve and give blood.  Every two seconds someone needs blood – from heart transplant and cancer patients to accident victims and premature babies.  The need for blood is constant, but the supply is not.  Only volunteer blood donors can make a life-saving difference to someone in need.
     
    Step up to give blood at a blood drive or donor center in your neighborhood and help save lives. Donating blood is convenient and safe when you are:
     
    • In good health
    • Free of antibiotics for 24 hours, unless taken daily for a skin condition
    • Symptom-free for at least 3 days following a cold or a flu
    • 17 years or older—16 with written parental consent (form available at MBC.ORG)
       
    While walk-in donors are always welcome, we encourage appointments be made in advance.  To register for a blood drive, go online to MBC.ORG or contact the sponsoring organization directly.  Visit MBC.ORG and search blood drives to find the most up-to-date blood drive list in your community.  You can also donate at a local donor center, sponsor your own blood drive, or gather friends to donate together at a Donor Day event.
     
    Memorial Blood Centers is the sole supplier of blood to 14 air ambulance bases across Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin.  Help bring hope to your communities!
