Donate Blood, Win Super Bowl Tickets This January In Rancho Santa Margarita

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA — The need for blood continues all year long for the American Red Cross. This January, the American Red cross and NFL Football Hall of Fame player Peyton Manning are asking residents to "score big" for patients in need by giving blood.

Through the month of January, Rancho Santa Margarita residents who donate blood will be automatically entered for a chance to win a trip to Super Bowl LVII in Arizona.

"If everyone does their part and we collectively commit to donating blood, we can stack up more wins for hospital patients who are counting on us," Manning said in a news release. "A single individual is certainly impactful, but a whole team of people coming together to donate has an even greater effect."
