PITTSBURGH (Jun. 12, 2024) — Vitalant and the Pittsburgh Pirates will mark 29 years of partnership by hosting a three-day blood drive at PNC Park June 24-26 and additional life-saving events throughout Western Pennsylvania.
All donors who give with Vitalant at a designated Pittsburgh Pirates Blood Drive location will receive a voucher redeemable for two tickets to a 2025 Pirates home game (Sunday through Thursday).* Donors will also receive a $10 Vitalant Rewards Gift Card and entry into a drawing for one of two $10,000 gift cards.*
Last year’s Pirates Blood Drives collected more than 900 units of blood, helping patients at hospitals throughout the region, like UPMC and AHN. Summer is one of the most challenging times to maintain a reliable blood supply, as schools are on break, many people travel, and regular routines change.
All blood types are needed, especially type O, the most transfused blood type. O-negative is what emergency room personnel reach for when there is no time to determine a patient’s blood type.
