Blood donors offered free haircut, chance to win VIP NASCAR trip

Metro Wire Staff

On the first day of fall—Sept. 22—the American Red Cross is asking the public to start the season off with lifesaving blood or platelet donations.

While the leaves turn, the need for blood never changes. Those who give this fall play an important role in keeping the blood supply high enough to help patients count on blood products for care– especially ahead of the busy holiday season.

To book a time to give blood or platelets, use the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Donors through Sept. 30 will be automatically entered for a chance to win a VIP NASCAR racing experience, including two tickets to a 2023 Sport Clips Haircuts-sponsored race of the winner’s choice, round-trip airfare for two, up to a three-night hotel stay, and entry to a Sport Clips racetrack hospitality tent, if available, plus a $750 gift card, thanks to Sport Clips.

Anyone who donates in September will also receive a coupon for a free haircut by email. Details are available at rcblood.org/racetogive.

Anyone who donates Oct. 1-31, 2022, will receive a $5 e-gift card by email to a merchant of their choice.
