SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs is partnering with the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center to save as many lives as possible by hosting a blood drive.
The blood drive is Thursday, January 18, at Frost Bank Center. The first 400 donors through the door will be gifted free tickets for the Spurs game on January 29, as the team hosts the Washington Wizards.
To date, Spurs Sports and Entertainment blood drives have collected more than 1,000 donations and have helped more than 3,000 patients in our community.
"Donations are always needed to help in emergencies and a lifeline for many including cancer patients, new mothers, and premature babies," said the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center. "Cancer patients need blood to recover from treatment, while trauma victims and surgery patients need blood and platelets to stop their hemorrhage."
