SAN ANTONIO – Blood donors in South Texas have a chance to spend Thanksgiving in New York City this year.<\/p>\n
South Texas Blood & Tissue announced that from now until Nov. 8, donors who give at any donor center will be entered to win a New York City Thanksgiving Day experience. Donors must use code NY to be entered.<\/p>\n
The prize package includes a $1,500 Visa gift card for airfare and one double room for two nights at Embassy Suites by Hilton New York Manhattan Times Square from Nov. 25-27. It also includes tickets for a Nov. 26 brunch for two at 6th Avenue Loft for Thanksgiving Day parade viewing.<\/p>\n
South Texas Blood & Tissue said the giveaway comes as patients across South Texas continue to rely on lifesaving blood during the holiday season. The organization said donated blood helps a wide range of patients, including accident victims and mothers expecting complications during childbirth, and is also used for emergencies, surgeries, cancer treatment and other serious conditions.<\/p>\n
South Texas Blood & Tissue provides blood to more than 110 hospitals across 50 South Texas counties. The organization said one blood donation can help save up to three lives.<\/p>\n
To donate, South Texas Blood & Tissue said donors can schedule an appointment at SouthTexasBlood.org or by calling 833-You-GIVE or 210-731-5590. Donors are asked to use promo code NY to participate in the giveaway.<\/p>\n
