City of Farmington Hills issued the following announcement on Jan. 10.
Donors Entered to Win a Super Bowl Trip for Two
The American Red Cross will sponsor a blood drive on Wednesday, January 12, 2022 from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. at the Costick Center, located at 28600 W. Eleven Mile Road between Middlebelt and Inkster in Farmington Hills.
The Red Cross needs your help to overcome the current severe blood shortage. All blood types are needed, but Type O is in especially high demand since it can be transfused to patients in other blood groups and used in emergency cases when a patient’s blood type isn’t known.
Each blood drive follows the highest standards available for infection control. All individuals at blood drives must wear a face mask regardless of vaccination status.
As a special thank you, if you come to give blood, platelets, or plasma Jan. 1-31, 2022, you will automatically be entered for a chance to win an NFL trip package:
• Two tickets to 2022 Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles
• Entry to the official NFL Tailgate
• Tickets to Super Bowl Experience
• Round-trip airfare
• Three-night hotel accommodations (Feb. 11-14, 2022)
• A $500 gift card for expenses
Terms apply. For details visit www.rcblood.org/SuperBowl
To donate blood on January 12, go to www.redcrossblood.org and register online. Enter the sponsor code costickcenter and follow the instructions to set up an appointment.
Giving blood takes approximately one hour. Donors must be in general good health, weigh at least 115 pounds, and be 17 years of age or older. If a parent is present to fill out a permission form on the day of the blood drive, 16-year-olds will be allowed to donate blood.
