The Coastal Bend Blood Center is hosting its Annual Rock & Roll Up Your Sleeve Summer Blood Drive on Saturday, June 27 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Cavender’s Boot City \u2013 and blood donors will be entered for a chance to win tickets to Ella Langley’s completely sold-out concert at the Hilliard Center.<\/p>\n
The Ella Langley show is sold out, making these tickets an exclusive opportunity for blood donors who participate in Saturday’s drive.<\/p>\n
The event comes as blood donations have declined in recent weeks and the Independence Day holiday approaches.<\/p>\n
“Just weeks ago, the Coastal Bend Blood Center found itself with less than a day’s supply of Type O blood on the shelves,” said Erin Survant, Director of Donor Development & Hospital Services at the Coastal Bend Blood Center. “That situation serves as a reminder of how fragile our blood supply can be, especially during the summer months. We are asking the community to join us at the Rock & Roll Up Your Sleeve Summer Blood Drive and help us stay ahead of the need before the Fourth of July holiday.”<\/p>\n
All donors will receive an exclusive Rock & Roll Up Your Sleeve T-shirt, a voucher for a free pint of Blue Bell Ice Cream and a Texas State Aquarium coupon, while supplies last.<\/p>\n
Most importantly, donors will be entered into drawings for the highly coveted sold-out Ella Langley concert tickets \u2013 along with other prizes including Journey concert tickets, numerous additional concert tickets, a Kalahari Family Overnight Getaway, a Ninja SLUSHi Machine, a Texas State Aquarium Membership for Two, a Turtlebox Ranger and more.<\/p>\n
Appointments are recommended and walk-ins are welcome.<\/p>\n
