his May, nonprofit Vitalant and the Pittsburgh Pirates encourage donors to support hospital patients by donating blood at their annual summer blood drives. Over the past 28 years, these blood drives have collected over 15,500 donations, with each donation potentially saving up to three lives. This year let’s continue a proud tradition of community support and lifesaving contributions!
As a special thank you, all donors who give blood at the Pittsburgh Pirates Blood Drives will receive a voucher redeemable for two tickets to a Pirate’s home game (valid Tuesday through Thursday) during the 2024 season.
“This longstanding partnership with the Pirates is vital to maintaining our area’s blood supply. Without this support, meeting the needs of local hospitals during the busy summer months would be a challenge. The community blood supply often drops to critical levels due to vacations and summer activities, making it even more crucial to donate blood.” — Kathy Ryan, Regional Director of Donor Recruitment.
