Players and Cheerleaders Say, “Thanks” to Blood Donors

The San Francisco 49ers are hosting a blood drive to pay tribute to the Bay Area’s blood donors – and to encourage more people to give the gift of life.

The blood drive will take place aboard Blood Centers of the Pacific’s bloodmobiles at the 49ers Training Facility in Santa Clara on Wednesday, June 1 from 12pm to 6pm.

Players and cheerleaders will be on hand to show their support and all blood donors will receive a one-of-a-kind 49ers T-shirt, food and a chance to win a 49ers memorabilia in a raffle.

“We’re thrilled to partner once again with the 49ers for this biannual event,” said Dr. Nora Hirschler, President of Blood Centers of the Pacific. “The 49ers’ support provides a much-needed boost to our region’s blood supply.”
