Celebrate the Buffalo Bills with a lifesaving donation in January – and get a chance to see the playoff action in person!
ConnectLife, Western New York’s only community blood bank, is thrilled to be cheering along with everyone as the Bills head into the playoffs in the new year. And Bills fans who help save lives in their community may find themselves in the stands to see the action live!
Starting January 6th and any other week leading up to a Bills home playoff game, ConnectLife blood donors will be entered to win a pair of tickets to that game. Five winners will be drawn the day before the game, so anyone who enters up to two days before the game will be eligible to win.
“We’re so fortunate to have community partners like the Buffalo Bills to support our lifesaving mission,” said Sarah Diina, Senior Director of Communications & External Affairs at ConnectLife. “Between snow cancellations, holiday trips and illnesses, blood donations drop significantly this time of year. The excitement that comes from these ticket giveaways will mean more blood available for hospitals and more lives saved here in Western New York.”
The ticket raffle is part of a month-long partnership with the Bills which means every donor will get a Bills cross-body bag as a thank you for their part in saving lives at Western New York hospitals. ConnectLife also continues to offer all platelet donors a $10 e-gift card with every donation, and all donors earn points with each visit that they can use at ConnectLife’s online store for additional gift cards and other items.
All donations with ConnectLife stay local, supplying more than 70% of the blood need at Western New York hospitals. Anyone interested can find drives or make an appointment by visiting www.ConnectLifeGiveBlood.org or calling 716.529.4270.
