Save a Life and Get Fit for Summer

To increase blood and platelet donations and help persistently low blood supply levels, the American Red Cross is offering blood donors a chance to win a YogaWorks Annual Membership or a One-Year Gym Membership.

To encourage people to give blood in the coming weeks, everyone who signs up to donate blood or platelets at a Southern California Red Cross blood drive in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Ventura counties during the month of May will be invited to fill out an entry form for a chance to win a YogaWorks annual membership or a one-year gym membership; the winner may choose either the gym or the YogaWorks membership.

If the gym membership is preferred, the winner may select the gym of his/her choice, and the American Red Cross will provide a maximum $500 toward the annual membership fee. The YogaWorks annual membership is valued at $1,045.

Prizes are nontransferable and not redeemable for cash. Entries will be accepted at all Red Cross blood drive locations and will be limited to these counties. The winner will be announced by June 15, 2007. American Red Cross employees are not eligible.

The American Red Cross urgently appeals to Southern California residents to donate blood. Any healthy person age 17 or older and weighing at least 110 pounds may be eligible to donate blood.
