Play ball! ConnectLife, Bisons team up to reward lifesaving donors with free tickets
Baseball is back at Sahlen Field after a long, cold winter, but the need for lifesavers doesn’t get an offseason break. The demand for donors to save patients at local hospitals is as great as ever in Western New York – which is why ConnectLife, Western New York’s only community blood bank, is thrilled to once again partner with the Buffalo Bisons to thank the donors who give of themselves to fill that need.
All throughout May, donors at any ConnectLife donation center or mobile drive will get two flex passes good for any Bisons game this season (except for the Independence Eve game and concert on July 3rd). Donors can bring those passes to the box office on any gameday to get in and enjoy a Buffalo tradition that has us all excited about the return of warm weather.
“We can’t say thank you enough to community partners like the Bisons who help reward the selfless donors who come in to save lives,” said Sarah Diina, Senior Director of Communications & External Affairs. “If just one more person who wants those tickets decides to come in and donate, that’s three more Western New Yorkers who may have their lives saved – what an incredible impact just 15 minutes in a chair can have!”
Donors also receive reward points with each donation that can be used in ConnectLife’s online store for gift cards, clothing and more.
All the blood donated to ConnectLife stays local, helping nearly every hospital in WNY’s eight counties maintain safe inventory levels. Donor centers are open in Williamsville, West Seneca, Tonawanda, with mobile drives scheduled every day. To schedule an appointment, visit ConnectLifeGiveBlood.org or call 716.529.4270.
