FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Step Up to the Plate and Save Lives
May 15, 2017 (St. Paul, MN) – Memorial Blood Centers is teaming up with the Minnesota Twins to give blood donors a chance to win premium baseball tickets. All presenting donors in June are automatically entered into weekly drawings for a pair of tickets to a Minnesota Twins game.
Volunteers are needed to step up and give blood during the summer months, when blood donations are often low. Patients in local hospitals depend on Memorial Blood Centers to be there with the right blood type they need to survive. All types are needed—especially O negative (O-) and O positive (O+). Only volunteers can make a life-saving difference to someone in need.
To register for a blood drive, visit us online at MBC.ORG or contact the sponsoring organization directly. While walk-in donors are always welcome, we encourage appointments to be made in advance. To learn more about the Twins promotion visit MBC.ORG/TWINS.
