Oklahoma City Baseball Club News Release


OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma City Dodgers will team up with the Oklahoma Blood Institute to host the All-American Blood Drive from 8 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Saturday, June 25 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

The All-American Blood Drive aims to boost the supply of blood available in the state of Oklahoma in preparation for Independence Day weekend, as holidays often put stress on the area's blood reserve.

All healthy adults age 16* and older who donate blood during the drive will receive two tickets to an upcoming 2016 OKC Dodgers game. A limited number of tickets will be available to donors for the Dodgers' July 4 game against the Colorado Springs Sky Sox.

"The All-American Blood Drive plays a significant role in helping maintain the necessary blood supply for our state," OKC Dodgers President/General Manager Michael Byrnes said. "We want to show our appreciation to the donors who participate by having them return to the ballpark and enjoy a game this season at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark."

Hot dogs will be served throughout the blood drive and free parking will be available for donors Saturday in the Joe Carter Lot, located just east of the ballpark at the corner of East Reno Avenue and Joe Carter Avenue. A golf cart will be available to shuttle donors back to the parking lot from the donation site along South Mickey Mantle Drive.

Oklahoma Blood Institute is the ninth-largest non-profit blood center in America and employs nearly 700 Oklahomans. OBI works with an estimated 1,000 volunteers and 2,600 blood drive coordinators. OBI donors provide blood utilized in more than 140 medical facilities in Oklahoma.

The Dodgers continue their series against the Round Rock Express at 7:05 p.m. today on a $2 Thursday at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Soda, water and select beer can be purchased for $2 each throughout the game.

The Dodgers remain home and play games daily at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark through June 28. Tickets are available through the OKC Dodgers box office on South Mickey Mantle Drive, by calling (405) 218-1000, or ordering through okcdodgers.com.

*Donors age 16 must weigh at least 125 pounds and provide signed parental permission. Donors age 17 must weigh at least 125 pounds, while donors age 18 must weigh at least 110 pounds.
