Red Cross blood drives raffling off Super Bowl tickets

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The American Red Cross is looking for more blood donors for National Blood Donor Month.

Anyone who donates blood or platelets through the Red Cross for the rest of the month will be entered to win two tickets to Super Bowl LVII in Arizona. Aside from tickets to the game, the winners will receive 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 (February 10-13, 2023), plus a $500 gift card for expenses.

The Red Cross says donations are just as crucial now as ever, with the threat of severe winter weather and rise in seasonal illness cases.

You can make an appointment through the Red Cross website, the Red Cross Donor App, or call 1-800-RED CROSS (733-2767).
