Arizona Statewide – May 27 – Sept. 9, 2022 – Donate blood by Sept. 9 with Vitalant and be automatically entered to win a 2022 VW Taos S! The seven Valley Volkswagen dealers have donated the car and partnered with Vitalant in the 14th annual campaign to help inspire more people to give blood this summer. Ten finalists are being drawn to participate in the grand prize ceremony. They will be unveiled throughout the summer on AZ-TV, proud media partner for the “Summer Drive to Save Lives” campaign. What’s more, give blood in August and Vitalant will thank you with a $6 gift card, enough for a gallon of gas! For location information and donation appointments, visit vitalant.org or call 877-25-VITAL(877-258-4825) – Casa Grande, Maricopa, Oro Valley & Tucson locations detailed below.
All blood types and platelets are critically needed. While matching a patient with their blood type is preferred, type O blood is what doctors turn to when serious injuries and other emergencies require immediate treatment. Platelets help with bleeding and clotting disorders and must be used within a week of donation. Vitalant hopes to motivate people to donate more often this summer – to help more patients and earn additional chances to win the 2022 VW Taos S. “While donors are generally eligible to give blood every eight weeks, the majority (65%) donate just once a year,” said Sid Lewis, Sr. Director of Donor Recruitment for the Vitalant Southwest Division.
