The Community Blood Center of the Carolinas (CBCC), the local nonprofit blood supplier for the Cone Health hospitals, is teaming up with the Greensboro Grasshoppers to offer community blood donors a special treat this summer: a free Grasshoppers game ticket to all CBCC Greensboro Center donors.

Presenting blood donors 16 or older will receive a free Grasshoppers ticket at the new CBCC collection center at 616 Pasteur Drive in Greensboro. The promotion will continue through the end of the season. Center hours are as follows:

M-T: 1:00 – 6:00PM

W-F: 8:00AM – 2:00PM

Sat: 7:30AM – 2:30PM

“We are privileged to be able to work with local community organizations and donors to bring much-needed blood to the Triad area,” said Martin Grable, president and CEO of the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas. “We greatly appreciate the Grasshoppers’ support of our mission to serve this community and make a difference in the lives of local patients.”
