The American Red Cross and Delta Air Lines are partnering during the month of September for the “Race Your Way to a Weekend Getaway” promotion.
All presenting volunteer donors in the month of September will be entered into a regional drawing for a pair of domestic roundtrip tickets courtesy of Delta Air Lines and a $500 gift card.
“Delta is one of our most avid corporate supporters, and we appreciate the token of appreciation they have extended to our donors,” stated Joyce Brendel, chief executive officer of the American Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region. “While we know our donors give because they want to help someone in need, it’s always a pleasure to provide such a great incentive to those who give so selflessly of their time and resources.”
Below are the upcoming dates for blood drives in Polk County:
Monday, Sept. 12
Holy Cross Episcopal Church-Fellowship Hall, 150 Melrose Ave., Tryon, 12:30 – 5 p.m.

Friday, Sept. 23
Polk County Middle School library, 321 Wolverine Trail, Mill Spring, 1:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
