Donate blood, earn chance to see Stones

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Anyone who donates blood at an American Red Cross center in Maine and four other states during the latest blood drive could win tickets to a Rolling Stones concert.

Blood donors who contribute for two weeks starting today will be entered into a drawing for a pair of tickets to the rock group’s Aug. 23 concert at Fenway Park in Boston.

Red Cross spokeswoman Donna Morrissey said the drawing is a fun, unique way to thank donors who help avert a summer blood shortage.

Besides Maine, donors in New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont will be eligible for the drawing. Donors must be at least 17, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in general good health. They can give whole blood every eight weeks and platelets every two weeks.

Donors can find where to go by calling 1-800-GIVE-LIFE.
