LINCOLN, Neb. — As Labor Day approaches, the Nebraska Community Blood Bank (NCBB) is urgently appealing for blood donors to help sustain the region’s blood supply during one of the year’s most challenging periods. The summer months, particularly around holiday weekends like Labor Day, typically see a significant drop in blood donations as residents celebrate the end of summer and prepare for the school year.
To incentivize donations, NCBB is offering a sweepstakes for those who donate between Wednesday, August 27, and Wednesday, September 3. Participants will have a chance to win an all-expense-paid vacation for two, courtesy of Winspire and sponsored by NCBB, along with a $1,500 Flightgift gift card for airfare. The winner can choose from five unique getaways, including a La Costa Golf Escape in San Diego, a Farmhouse Luxury experience in Napa Vineyards, Grand Canyon Starry Nights in Williams, New Orleans Jazz & Dining, or an Off-Map Glamping Adventure in South Haven, Michigan.
“Labor Day and back-to-school season always bring unique challenges for our blood supply,” said Cheryl Warholoski, Executive Director at NCBB. “This campaign is our way of turning that around by inviting both first-time and returning blood donors to roll up their sleeves, save lives, and have the chance to go on a memorable getaway!”…
