Red Cross Offers Opportunity to Win Taylor Swift Concert Tickets

Donating blood helps save lives, helps maintain our community blood supply and gives donors a good feeling.

This summer, the American Red Cross is giving you one more reason to give blood…free concert tickets!

Anyone who presents to donate blood between Aug. 24 and Sept. 9 may register to win a pair of concert tickets to the Taylor Swift concert at the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tenn. on Saturday, Sept. 12.

Two winners will each receive a pair of concert tickets by random drawing on Sept. 10.

By spending just one hour giving blood this summer, you can help save up to three lives and have the opportunity to see Taylor Swift live in concert.

Locally, you may give blood on the following dates:

o Sunday, Sept. 6, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at First United Methodist Church located at 222 W. Seventh St. in Columbia.
o Sunday, Sept. 6, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Grace Church of the Nazarene located at 2302 Highland Avenue in Columbia.
o Tuesday, Sept. 8, from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Lowe’s located at 2000 Hillary Drive in Columbia.

Donors must be in general good health, weigh 110 pounds or more, and be at least 17 years old (16 with completed Parental Consent Form). Please bring your donor card or photo ID.priority. 3543).
