Pucks for Platelets

Hoxworth Blood Center wants to celebrate the lifesaving contributions of our platelet donors who help local patients battling cancer, trauma, and other life-threatening conditions in our tri-state hospitals.

Donate three or more times in October and November, and you will get an invitation to the Cincinnati Cyclones game on December 17th, along with a VIP experience designed to thank you for your ongoing commitment to saving lives.

Here's what you and your guest will experience at this fun hockey night, including:

• 2 tickets to the December 17^th Cyclones game,
• FREE parking provided by SP+ Parking and Hamilton County
• An opportunity to join the Pre-Game Fan Tunnel & backstage Rally Alley,
• A post-game photo on the ice,
• A Hoxworth gift bag (with a Cyclones puck inside), and
• A chance to be the lucky donor who gets to drop the first puck (every donation counts as another drawing opportunity)!

We know it’s not about the rewards but in addition to this Cyclones insider experience, every platelet donation you’ll still earn:

• 20 Premier Donor Club reward points = $20 eGift card and
• Our monthly donor thank you gift promotions

Every year, 65% of platelets collected at Hoxworth go to patients at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where young cancer patients depend on frequent transfusions for their treatment. Platelet donations are also vital for trauma victims, transplant patients, and others undergoing complex medical procedures.

This event comes at a crucial time as platelet donations tend to drop during the fall and winter months. With Pucks for Platelets, Hoxworth hopes to not only thank current donors but also inspire new donors to give.

Hoxworth is the only blood center serving the Tri-State area, and they need over 450 blood and platelet donors daily to maintain a stable blood supply for local hospitals.
