Blood bank to host ticket giveaway
Central Blood Bank will host a “Give ‘Til it Hurts” blood drive from noon to 7 p.m. Oct. 24 at the donor center, 429 Fourth Ave., Pittsburgh.
There will be a guest appearance from a “Saw” movie character from 4 to 7 p.m. All participating donors will receive a free ticket to see “Jigsaw.” Costumes are encouraged.
The blood drive has been a tradition since the first “Saw” movie became a record-breaking franchise in 2004. To date, 120,000 pints have been donated and 360,000 lives have been saved.
Appointments are suggested but walk-ins are welcome. In preparation for donation, donors are asked to eat well, stay hydrated and arrive with proper identification. Donors must be at least 18 years old. Those 16 and 17 can donate with parental consent.
To make an appointment, call 866-366-6771 or visit www.centralbloodbank.org/saw.
