AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (MyFox Detroit) -
Palace Sports & Entertainment and the American Red Cross Southeastern Michigan Blood Services Region are joining forces for the 11th annual Palace Blood Drive slated for Tuesday, September 11, 2012, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
This community drive was organized in 2002 as a way for individuals to commemorate the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks and, at the same time, give the community an opportunity to help save lives by building the blood supply in Southeastern Michigan.
Everyone who comes to donate blood at this year's Palace Blood Drive will receive special thank you gifts including: Detroit Pistons memorabilia; Detroit Pistons tickets to a pre-season game and the first game of the regular season; and a $10 gift card. (All gifts are available while supplies last.) In addition, everyone who comes to donate will be entered to win a $500 gas card or an iPad.
Advance appointments are encouraged. Donors with appointments will be given first priority, and the wait time for those who do not have appointments could be quite lengthy. To make your appointment for the Palace Blood Drive call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org and use sponsor code palace.
