The American Red Cross is offering a major incentive for blood donations over the next few weeks.
From now until Saturday, January 26, those who give blood at a designated Red Cross facility will automatically be entered for a chance to win a trip for two to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. Due to January being recognized as National Blood Donor Month, the extra special giveaway will serve as a means to entice donations to keep the national blood supply from dipping drastically.
The winner of the prize and a guest of choice will have the opportunity to enjoy the big game in the Big Easy, access to day-of in-stadium pre-game activities, tickets to the official Super Bowl Experience, round-trip airfare to New Orleans, three-night hotel accommodations (February 7-10, 2025), plus a $1,000 gift card for expenses.
