The American Red Cross announced Tuesday that it is facing a serious shortage and to encourage donors it will be holding a blood drive that gives a trip to this year’s Super Bowl.
Facing a shortage it termed as severe, the American Red Cross is urging eligible donors to make an appointment to give blood as soon as possible.
“Winter typically puts pressure on the blood supply,” according to a Red Cross statement.
Anyone who gives blood through Jan. 25 will be automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for two to the Feb. 8 Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Anyone who gives blood between Jan. 26 and Feb. 28 will get a $20 e-gift card.
