"The Bengals Blood Drive has become the largest single-day blood drive in Greater Cincinnati," said Alecia Lipton, Hoxworth spokesperson. “This drive is festive, fun and can make a difference in the lives of more than a thousand patients.”
For those who cannot attend the blood drive, Hoxworth Blood Center will be celebrating “Bengals Week” at all of its Neighborhood Donor Centers. Donors who give at a Neighborhood Donor Center Oct. 17, 18, 20, 21 or 22 will receive a free, limited-edition “TIGER BLOOD!” Bengals T-shirt.
All Neighborhood Donor Centers will be closed on Weds., Oct. 19 because Hoxworth staff will be dedicated to the Bengals blood drive at Paul Brown Stadium.
700WLW's Mo Egger (11 a.m. – 1 p.m.) and Lance McAllister (2 p.m. – 4 p.m) will be doing live remotes from the blood drive.
