The American Red Cross currently has a critical need for blood donors of all blood types – especially type O – and platelet donors to make an appointment now to give and help replenish the blood supply after the holiday weeks.
Right now, the Red Cross has less than a three-day supply of type O blood. To help tackle the critical need, the Red Cross and the NFL are working together to offer one lucky winner a trip to Super Bowl LIV in Miami.
Anyone who donates blood or platelets through the Red Cross will automatically be entered for a chance to experience the Super Bowl live.
The prize package includes round-trip airfare to Miami, a 3-night stay The Alexander Oceanfront Resort, a 500-dollar gift card, entrance to the official NFL Tailgate, the Super Bowl Experience and a pair of tickets to Super Bowl LIV.
