Oakland vs. Detroit Blood Challenge

Inspired by this year’s playoff series between the Oakland Athletics and Detroit, the American Red Cross is holding a friendly competition to see which region can collect the most blood – Northern California or Southeastern Michigan.

Support the Northern California Region and local patients in need by donating blood at any blood donation center for the duration of the series, which kicks off on Friday, October 4. Donate on game days and you will be entered in a drawing for autographed baseball memorabilia.* (series schedule)

So show your Bay Area pride! Support the community blood supply, help save lives and win bragging rights as the most dedicated blood donors in the game. Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or click here to schedule your appointment to donate blood.

Together, we can help save lives.


* Autographed memorabilia is non-transferable and not redeemable for cash.
