3M Company donates 300 race tickets
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 /EMWNews/ -- The American Red Cross
will zoom into Brooklyn, MI, on Friday, August 15, bringing along its Red
Cross Racing exhibit so NASCAR fans can learn more about Red Cross
services.
The Red Cross Racing program was launched in April at Talladega in
conjunction with the 3M Company and Roush Fenway Racing. The traveling
display encourages NASCAR fans to give blood, following the lead of NASCAR
driver Greg Biffle, who is also a blood donor and member of the Red Cross
Celebrity Cabinet. Admission to the exhibit is free and visitors can enjoy
several interactive activities, including joining Red Cross Racing and its
NASCAR-themed Donor Rewards Program. The exhibit will be on the midway
through Sunday, August 17.
Throughout the weekend, several lucky fans will have the opportunity to
win a spot at an autograph signing by Greg Biffle on Sunday, August 17. In
addition, 3M has generously donated 300 tickets to the American Red Cross
for the Sunday race itself.
Over 16,000 people have already joined Red Cross Racing and together
earned over 16 million points toward NASCAR-themed prizes such as caps, tee
shirts, jackets, and limited edition die-cast cars. You can join one of two
ways, either at the track, or by visiting redcrossracing.com. Registrants
are automatically entered for a chance to win an all-expense-paid trip for
two to the Phoenix race in November, when the #16 Ford Fusion, driven by
Biffle, will feature a full Red Cross paint scheme. The prize package
includes airfare, hotel, two race tickets and pit and garage tours.
To give blood, you must be at least 17 years of age, weigh at least 110
pounds, and be in good health. Some states allow 16-year-olds to donate
with parental consent. Red Cross urges everyone who can to join Red Cross
Racing by visiting redcrossracing.com to schedule a blood donation
appointment in the days and weeks ahead to ensure an adequate supply of
blood is available when needed.
