As a thank you to its blood and platelet donors, the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas (CBCC) will be giving away three pairs of Club Level tickets for the Carolinas Panthers’ season home opener. The game will be against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 1:00PM.

All presenting blood and platelet donors at one of CBCC’s blood centers or mobile blood drives now through Saturday, Sept. 10 will be automatically entered into the ticket drawing. The tickets cannot be redeemed for cash and there will only be one pair of tickets per winner. Donors can schedule their appointment at one of CBCC’s centers or mobile blood drives by calling 704-972-4700 or visiting www.cbcc.us.

“This is a great opportunity to support our home team while giving back to local patients,” said Martin Grable, president and CEO of CBCC. “The weeks surrounding the Labor Day holiday are difficult for blood and platelet collection. Local patients rely on life-saving blood from our donors, so we encourage people to donate blood now helping ensure area patients receive the blood products they need.”
