Becky Lawson of Montana hit it out of the park! After making her second ever blood donation in May, Becky was randomly chosen as the winner of a trip to the 2023 MLB® All-Star Game®.
All who came to give with the American Red Cross May 1-31, 2023, were automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for two to the 2023 MLB® All-Star Game® in Seattle. This getaway includes two tickets to the 2023 MLB® All-Star Game® thanks to the support of Fanatics, round-trip airfare, four-night hotel accommodations, a $750 gift card for expenses and more.
Thanks to Becky and everyone else who joined Team Red Cross this spring!
How to donate blood
Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, schedule online, call 1-800-RED CROSS or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.
