Free Redskins game ticket! - Red Cross:Give blood, get one free game ticket

[Chris Worthy]

I'm tempted to give up some of my Oh-Neg. For purely unselfish reasons, of course. Damascus is only fifteen minutes from me.

You should so they can stop blowing my home and work phone up. (O-Neg as well)

[Heidenreich]

Around here they give you Mets tickets. What a crock of ****......

Me too. I give every 2 months at my job. If I can find someone to go with i'm going to do it

[Bostic Hog]

This is a great promotion. I give them props for the participation and helping with the great American Red Cross!

But with a season ticket waiting list of 150k (cough) .... how will they have so many tickets available to give them away? I guess visiting team returns?

[Gracelander]

Goofy question but for someone who has never donated blood. How long does it take to give blood? Not the waiting room, how long do you actually sit there with the needle in? I'm 42 yet still terrified of needles and i'm considering doing this only for selfish reasons (being honest).

Takes between 15-30 minutes. It's not a big deal, and there is a nationwide shortage.

The site specifically states that specific game tickets are not guaranteed. Elfin needs to fact check.

BTW just checked, there is only 2 spots left in Ashburn at 3:00PM! Everything else is GONE!!

I have season tickets and I am not going for the free ticket but I have a 10:45 Am apppointment in Ashburn. This way I am supporting the Redskins and the Red Cross at the same time. Then I will give away my free ticket to someone who needs it.

[HapHaszard]

Wonder if they will take Fed Express donations?

Was just getting ready to click on the link for the Damascus drive when I remembered I got a tattoo about a month ago so I had to check the eligibility requirements...I'm good.

How long does it take for HIV tests to be evaluated these days? Or are they just blindly accepting blood? My father was a hemophiliac and recieved tainted blood.
