Eau Claire Express News Release
Eau Claire, Wis. - June 17, 2013 - Come out to Carson Park on July 2, where the Eau Claire Express will be hosting a Community Blood Drive for the first time. The event takes place from 2:30 pm to 7:30 pm at Carson Park Baseball Stadium. All donors will receive FREE admission to the Eau Claire Express Baseball game that night against the Lakeshore Chinooks and the chance to win $3,000!
Live a story. Give a story. Donate blood. This summer, when you give blood you could give someone time to make their own stories- watching fireworks, having a picnic, rooting for the home team. What if you could give someone a summer of stories? With the Red Cross, you can. For appointments or information on the blood drive, please call 800-733-2767 or log onto redcrossblood.org and search by zip 54701. Make sure to bring a picture ID or donor card because it is required in order to donate!
DID YOU KNOW? Only 38% of the population is eligible to donate blood; only 8% actually do. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states) meet weight and height requirements (110 pounds or more, depending on their height) and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. Please bring your Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID when you come to donate.
Come out to Carson Park on July 2 to help the Express support patients in need by donating blood for the first pre-game blood drive in team history! First pitch that evening is at 6:35 PM with gates opening at 5:30. If you would like additional information on this and other Express promotions, please visit the home game promotions page on the Express website!
