We all know that seconds can make a difference in a basketball game and they can also make a difference in someone’s life. Did you know that every two seconds someone in this country needs blood? And that you can potentially help up to three people every time you donate? The American Red Cross is once again proud to host a March Madness Blood Drive from Monday, March 2 – Tuesday, March 31 to coincide with the Women’s and Men’s ACC tourneys, as well as the NCAA. Donors will be entered into a drawing for one of four $50 gift cards to the Conference Store, home of ACC merchandise and of course, March Madness!
Join us for the competition in Greensboro or Winston-Salem:
Nussbaum Blood Center, 1501 Yanceyville Street, Greensboro
Winston-Salem Blood Center, 650 Coliseum Drive, Winston-Salem
The March Madness Blood Drive gives alumni and fans from each school the opportunity to donate blood on their school’s behalf while helping to save a life. Participating schools include Boston College, Clemson, Duke, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, University of Miami, NC State, UNC, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest. Celebrate March Madness…while showing support for your favorite ACC team! UNC has been the favorite with donors…will this be the year they fall in the brackets?
The Nussbaum & Winston-Salem Blood Centers will be showing their true colors with ACC decorations and special thanks to the Conference Store for their donation of four $50 gift cards, to be raffled on Friday, March 13 and Friday, March 27, at each donor site. The ACC and NCAA tournaments will also be televised in the blood centers so that donors can follow the action while donating blood.
Blood donors must be at least 17 years old, (or 16 with parental permission), in generally good health, and weigh 110 pounds or more. It is safe to give blood every 56 days. Call 1-800-GIVE LIFE or go to www.redcrossblood.org to schedule a donation appointment or to learn more about giving blood.
