MLK Day of Service BLOOD DRIVE
The American Red Cross and the NFL are partnering this January, during National Blood Donor Month, to invite football fans and blood donors to join our lifesaving team and score big for patients in need. Schedule your next blood, platelet or plasma donation appointment today.
To thank donors for helping during the critical post-holiday time, those who come to give Jan. 1-31, 2023, will automatically be entered to win a trip for two to Super Bowl LVII in Arizona!^
The winner and guest will get to enjoy Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona, access to day-of in-stadium pre-game activities, tickets to the official Super Bowl Experience, round-trip airfare to Phoenix, three-night hotel accommodations (Feb. 10-13, 2023), plus a $500 gift card for expenses.
