SAN ANTONIO \u2013 As the San Antonio Spurs battle the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals, South Texans have a chance to support their team while helping save lives.<\/p>\n
The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center is offering a limited-edition Spurs cap to donors who give blood at any San Antonio donor center on Spurs Finals game days. The promotion is available while supplies last.<\/p>\n
To receive the cap, donors must use the promo code \u201cFINALS\u201d when scheduling an appointment.<\/p>\n
Officials say the need for blood donations remains constant across the region, with every donation potentially helping two or more patients in need.<\/p>\n
Appointments can be scheduled online through South Texas Blood & Tissue Center\u2019s website or by calling 833-YOU-GIVE (833-968-4483).<\/p>\n
Donors should bring a valid photo ID.<\/p>\n
According to the South Texas Blood & Tissue Center, blood transfusions occur every two seconds in the United States.<\/p>\n
The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center is placing special emphasis on donations from people with Type O blood, particularly O-positive, which is the most common blood type in South Texas.<\/p>\n
About 40% of the population has O-positive blood, and roughly half of Hispanics share that blood type, making those donations especially important for meeting local hospital needs.<\/p>\n
Type O blood is frequently used in emergency situations and remains one of the most requested blood types by hospitals.<\/p>\n
