Media Blood Drives Being Held June 6, June 15

MEDIA, PA – The American Red Cross has two planned blood drives heading to Media Borough in early and mid June and donors can enter to win a trip to one of two amusement parks in Ohio and California. Donors can also get discounted tickets to certain amusement parks across the country.

The first drive will be held from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday, June 6 at the YMCA Rocky Run, 1299 W. Baltimore Pike.

The other drive will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, June 15 at Delaware County Community College, 901 S. Media Line Road.

Donors looking to give blood on June 6 can sign up for time slots online here. Options to donate Power Red, which collects the red cells but returns most of the plasma and platelets to the donor, are available for that date.

Sign up for the June 15 drive online here.

After giving blood, donors can then visit the Red Cross website to enter to win one of three grand prize packages for four to Knott’s Berry Farm in California or Cedar Point in Ohio.

Even if you don't win the grand prize, you can still get discounted tickets to amusement parks owned by Cedar Fair, including Dorney Park in nearby Allentown.

Just visit Cedar Fair's website here and click on the amusement park of your choice for discounted tickets. $2 from each ticket purchased goes right back to the Red Cross.
