Anybody who gives blood at the drives will receive two tickets to the Sept. 27th San Antonio FC match at Toyota Field against Birmingham Legion FC. South Texas Blood & Tissue is a proud sponsor of SAFC and is thrilled to participate in their Cancer Awareness Night, in support of those affected with over 25% of all donated blood going to cancer patients.
