The Red Cross has announced that anyone who donates blood during January will have a chance to win tickets to the upcoming Super Bowl in Los Angeles. The nation's blood supply is dangerously low, prompting the organization to declare a national blood crisis for the first time.
"Health emergencies don't pause for holidays, game day or a pandemic," the Red Cross said on its website. "Donors are needed now to help patients make a comeback this winter."
In partnership with the NFL, the Red Cross said people who donate throughout this month will automatically be entered in the drawing for the Super Bowl tickets. The winner can bring a guest and the package includes Super Bowl tickets, an entry into the official NFL Tailgate, tickets to the Super Bowl experience, round-trip airfare to Los Angeles, three-night hotel accommodations and a $500 gift card for expenses.
