Eldora Ballroom
blood drive
DAYTON, Ohio – The Eldora Speedway will sponsor the annual Eldora
Speedway Ballroom Blood Drive Thursday, June 18 from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30
p.m. with the chance to win a pair of Kings Royal race tickets, and a
deluxe Hawaii vacation for two. The blood drive will be in the Eldora
Ballroom, 13929 State Route 118, New Weston. Everyone who
registers to donate will receive a free “Donor Surf Co.” surfboard
t-shirt and everyone age 18 and older will also be entered in the
Community Blood Center (CBC) “Get on Board – Give Blood Summer Blood
Drive” drawing to win an expense-paid Hawaii vacation. Donors are
encouraged to schedule an appointment online at www.DonorTime.com or
call 1-800-388-GIVE.
Dirt track racing is always the theme of the Eldora Ballroom Blood
Drive. Door prizes include pairs of Eldora Speedway race tickets
and official Eldora Speedway apparel. The top prize is a pair of
Kings Royal race tickets during the 32nd Annual Kings Royal July 17-18
weekend.
The grand prize Hawaii vacation for two in the “Get on Board – Give
Blood Summer Blood Drive” includes air travel and deluxe accommodations
for eight nights at two island locations. All taxes, fees and meals are
included. The vacation package also includes pre-paid activities
and sight-seeing excursions, plus all ground transportation.
Everyone age 18 and older who registers to donate with CBC from May 4
through Aug. 28 will be automatically entered in the “Get on Board –
Give Blood Summer Blood Drive” drawing. REACH magazine is the
media sponsor. Eligible donors can enter the drawing a second time when
they register for a second donation during the blood drive period.
Official rules are available at www.givingblood.org.
Anyone who registers to donate Monday, June 15 through Saturday, July
25 at any CBC Donor Center and most CBC mobile blood drives will
receive CBC’s second special-edition, Hawaiian surf board design
t-shirt of the summer. The “Donor Surf Co.” t-shirt is bright
blue with a colorful surfboard and island floral design, plus the CBC
blood drop and the slogan “Drop In, Lei Back, & Donate.”
Maintaining the blood supply can be challenging during the summer
months due to vacation travel and other changes in schedules. If
you have to miss an appointment, CBC encourages you to reschedule when
you are able. We especially encourage the continued support of
type O whole blood donors and type A/B platelet and plasma donors.
