Red Cross, NFL Tie Super Bowl LX Ticket Giveaway to January Blood Donations

Hospitals report tight supplies, with Type O, A‑negative, B‑negative especially needed.

Overview

  • Through Jan. 25, anyone who donates blood or platelets with the American Red Cross is automatically entered in the NFL-backed drawing, with outreach featuring Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.
  • The Red Cross says it is distributing blood faster than it is collecting it after holiday and winter disruptions, warning of potential shortages without a near-term boost in donations.
  • The grand prize includes two tickets to Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, access to in-stadium pregame activities and the Super Bowl Experience, round-trip airfare, a three-night hotel stay, and a $1,000 gift card.
  • While all eligible donors are urged to give, the organization notes especially high demand for Type O, A‑negative and B‑negative blood.
  • Appointments can be made via the Red Cross Blood Donor App, RedCrossBlood.org, 1‑800‑RED CROSS, or Alexa’s Blood Donor Skill, and donors must present ID and meet age, weight and health criteria.
