ROUND ROCK, Texas – The Round Rock Express is proud to partner with We Are Blood to host a blood donation drive inside the United Heritage Center at Dell Diamond from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 15. Appointments are available at this link. Walk ins are also welcome. Every donor will receive a Round Rock Express ‘Be Our Guest Card’ good for two reserved seats at a game of your choice and a Round Rock Express baseball.
“We are grateful for the Round Rock Express’ support for the community blood supply during a time of year with more frequent shortages,” shares Nick Canedo vice president of community engagement. “We look forward to welcoming blood donors to the ballpark for a day of giving back to local patients.”
We Are Blood is the exclusive supplier of blood for over 50 hospitals, medical facilities, and EMS agencies across 10 counties in Central Texas. Blood donations are needed every summer as donations dip due to schools being out of session and individuals becoming busy with vacation and family commitments.
With extraordinary growth in blood transfusion needs across Central Texas, blood drives are an important way for community members to donate. The entire process takes about 45 minutes to one hour and the actual blood giving process takes just 15 to 35 minutes.
“Last year was one of the most successful blood drives we’ve had at Dell Diamond, and we are hoping to build off that momentum,” President Chris Almendarez said. “We’re excited to step up for our community and provide lifesaving donations to Central Texas.”
We Are Blood is a nonprofit blood center that has been serving Central Texas since 1951. For more information on We Are Blood, please visit WeAreBlood.org.
