Give blood. Get smart.
September 1, 2010
It’s always a great time to save lives but during the month of September 2009, every Blood Centers of the Pacific (BCP) blood donor 18-years-of-age and older, will be automatically entered to win a new Smart Car Passion Coupe! Give blood, save lives and maybe you’ll drive off in a new smart car!
Ten finalists will be randomly chosen throughout the month and will be invited to BCP’s Irwin Center in San Francisco. There, they’ll each be given a key and one lucky lifesaver’s key will fit and they’ll walk away with a brand new smart car. And for being finalists, all nine others will receive a $100 gas card!
BCP has centers throughout Northern California and runs hundreds of blood mobile blood drives at area businesses, schools, and places of worship. Simply visit http://www.bloodheroes.com to find the donation opportunity that’s best for you!
