popular demand: One
lucky donor between August
20 and September
1 will
win Bengals season tickets!
For the second time this summer, one lucky blood donor will win two Bengals season tickets as a thank-you for giving blood. Hoxworth officials hope this ticket raffle will provide a much-needed boost to the local blood supply for the weeks leading up to Labor Day. There has been a chronic shortage of all blood types for most of the summer. Blood usage at local hospitals has been higher than expected, while donations have been down considerably. Earlier this summer, over 4,000 donors during a two-week period were eligible to win the first Bengals season tickets raffle. The winner of was Patty Heller of Hamilton. Patty's donation at her company blood drive at Cincinnati Financial Corporation qualified her for the raffle drawing.
Details:
All
donors who give blood at any
Hoxworth blood drive or donor center from Monday, August 20 through Saturday, September
1 will be automatically entered into a
drawing to win:
Two (2) tickets
to each of the 2007
Bengals regular season home games.
The season
tickets are in
section 335, row 32, seats 24 & 25
and have retail
value of $1008. No registration or entry form is
necessary to be eligible to win. Your donation is your
entry. One lucky donor will be picked at random and will
be contacted by Hoxworth.
How to donate:
• Age: At least 17 years old and in good general health. There is no upper age limit. • Weight: Minimum of 110 pounds. • Identification: Must provide photo I.D. • Food: Eat a good meal within four hours before giving. • Drink: Drink plenty of water or juice before and after donating. Hoxworth is now offering free cholesterol screening tests to all blood donors. The non-fasting total serum cholesterol level test will be part of all successful blood donations, and is intended to be a screening only. Hoxworth is offering the free tests at all blood collection sites, including the nine Greater Cincinnati neighborhood donor centers and all bloodmobile operations. Donors can obtain the results of the screening three days after the blood donation, by phone only. Hoxworth will provide each donor at the time of donation a unique ID number and phone number to call.
