Red Cross Racing
Give blood. Get points. Win prizes.

May 21, 2009

Join the race where everyone wins. When you sign up through Red Cross Racing, you can earn NASCAR and race-related collectibles, all while helping to save lives through blood donation.

Now in its second year, this racing-theme rewards program through the American Red Cross is designed to increase donation frequency during the summer months, a time when blood donations typically slump. Participants accrue points by self-reporting their blood and platelet donations at redcrossracing.com, and then exchange those points for a variety of prizes like caps, T-shirts, jackets and die-cast models. Donors who come to give during particular summer holiday periods may also be eligible to earn double points.

Red Cross Racing is supported through the generosity of the 3M Corporation and Roush Fenway Racing. The race begins this May. So join Greg Biffle – blood donor and driver of the No.16 car – on the track to help change a life. Schedule your appointment now at a blood drive or donor center close to you by visiting redcrossracing.com.
