Blood Donor Of The Game 2008

Have you ever dreamed about being introduced to a crowd of fans at historical, magical Fenway Park? If so, your dream COULD be about to come true!

Everyone who comes to donate blood at an American Red Cross donor center or blood drive in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont or Connecticut between March 15 and September 17, 2008 may enter for a chance to win the honor of being the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Boston Red Sox/American Red Cross Blood Donor of the Game at a Red Sox home game this season.

Winners will receive two tickets to a designated game at Fenway Park, a special commemorative souvenir and a photograph, as well as special recognition.

This year we continue our celebration of blood donors through our partnership with the Boston Red Sox and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Donating blood makes you a hero to patients in need and gives you the chance to be honored at Fenway Park. The selfless act of giving blood helps to save lives, while making you feel good about interacting with and caring for your fellow man.

The winners who become Blood Donor Of The Game will be treated and honored like the heroes they really are. The real winners, however, will be the patients who have the blood they need because you cared enough to give it.

If you've never given blood before, please.....Consider Yourself Asked! Help strike out blood shortages this summer.
