South Texas Blood & Tissue invites donors to help save lives and enter for a chance to win a Thanksgiving trip to New York, including airfare assistance, hotel accommodations and parade-viewing brunch tickets.
SAN ANTONIO — South Texas Blood & Tissue is giving blood donors a little something extra to be thankful for: from now until Nov. 8, donors who give at any donor center will be entered to win a New York City Thanksgiving Day experience. Donors must use code NY to be entered to win.
The experience includes a $1,500 Visa gift card for airfare and one double room for two nights at Embassy Suites by Hilton New York Manhattan Times Square from Nov. 25-27, plus tickets for a Nov. 26 brunch for two at 6th Avenue Loft for Thanksgiving Day parade viewing.
While the lucky winner will have an opportunity to make unforgettable memories in the Big Apple, every donor has the chance to make an impact for patients closer to home.
As families gather to give thanks, patients across South Texas are relying on lifesaving blood. From accident victims to mothers expecting complications during childbirth, donated blood gives the gift of life when it is needed most.
