The Minnesota Wild, in partnership with the American Red Cross, announced they will host a blood drive at Grand Casino Arena on Thursday, Aug. 27, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
To register and for more information on donor eligibility, please click the following link or visit the Red Cross Blood Donor App and use the sponsor code “WILD.” All blood types are needed, and space is limited. An appointment is required to participate in this blood drive. Participants registered for this blood drive are not allowed to bring additional guests. The Wild is also offering player-signed photos to registered participants.
As summer winds down and blood donations typically decline, the American Red Cross is urging Minnesota Wild fans and the community to donate blood. The Red Cross is currently experiencing a national blood crisis, making every donation especially important, with a particular need for Power Red donors and first-time donors to help meet current and future patient needs. Giving now helps maintain a stable blood supply for patients at local hospitals, including Regions, before fall brings additional challenges that could affect patient care.
Free parking will be available for all donors participating in the blood drive at the Saint Paul RiverCentre Parking Ramp located off Kellogg Blvd. across from the Saint Paul RiverCentre. Doors for the event will open at 9:30 a.m. at Gate 1.
All participating donors will receive a $15 e-gift card for a merchant of their choice courtesy of the American Red Cross.
