9th Annual Patriots Day Blood Drive at the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park, Saturday, September 11

X 1090 AM and 105.7 The Walrus are joining the San Diego Blood Bank in remembering America’s September 11th Heroes at the 9th Annual Patriots Day Blood Drive at the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park on Saturday, September 11, from 10 a.m. to  4 p.m.   

The first 100 blood donors will be awarded an envelope which may contain a pair of tickets to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers with ZZ Top on September 28th at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre or a Pat & Oscar’s Meal for One. 

This year’s drive is made possible by Grossmont Healthcare District, Wells Fargo, Harrah’s Rincon San Diego North, Moneytree, Cox Kids Foundation and Union Bank.

The blood drive on September 11th is a commemoration of the dedicated San Diegans who gave blood in September 2001, as well as the many heroes who lost their lives that day. Thanks to the U.S. Navy, the San Diego Blood Bank was the first to fly 380 pints of blood requested by the New York Blood Center to New York at 1p.m., on September 11th, 2001.

Anyone who is at least 17 years old, in generally good health, weighs at least 110 pounds and provides photo I.D. may qualify to donate blood. To schedule a blood donation appointment, call 1-800-4MY-SDBB or visit www.sandiegobloodbank.org.
