NORFOLK, Va., (Feb 25, 2019) - The American Red Cross and Hampton Roads Harley Davidson are teaming up to host the annual Harley Davidson blood drive on Saturday, March 23 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Hampton Roads Harley Davidson in Yorktown, Va. For over two decades, Hampton Roads Harley Davidson has hosted a Red Cross blood drive, helping to collect thousands of lifesaving blood products for hospital patients in critical need. Eligible donors are invited to join this annual tradition of helping to save lives. All presenting donors will receive a T-shirt and a $20 Harley-Davidson store gift card!* Donors will also be treated to grilled food, snacks and beverages.
“We’re thankful for our partnership with Hampton Roads Harley Davidson who use their platform to engage the community to donate lifesaving blood. They’ve helped to collect roughly 6,000 units,” said Bernadette Jay, external communications manager, Mid-Atlantic Blood Services Region. “Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. It may be used to help save the life of a premature infant, a grandparent battling cancer, a teenager with sickle cell anemia or someone else in this community,”
The Hampton Roads Harley Davidson blood drive will take place at the Harley Davidson Showroom at 6450 George Washington Memorial Highway in Yorktown, Va. March is Red Cross Month and this drive is a great way to celebrate with two organizations who are joining forces to help save lives.
