Nebraska Community Blood Bank’s (NCBB) (ncbb.org/pint) third annual “Pint for a Pint” campaign is to encourage blood donations during the critical late summer months. This campaign started Thursday, August 1 and will be going on through Tuesday, September 10. All who show up to donate will receive a voucher redeemable for a free or discounted beverage or an ice cream treat at a participating venue.
Six breweries, pubs, and creameries are coming together to support the critical need for blood donations in the summertime by participating in this year’s “Pint for a Pint” campaign. The full list of participating establishments can be found here. All donor centers and most blood drives are participating in this initiative. Blood donors cannot redeem their vouchers on the day of their donation.
“Nebraska Community Blood Bank is grateful for the generosity of our local breweries, pubs and creameries for supporting us each year by raising awareness and offering gifts to our lifesaving donors,”said Cheryl Warholoski, Executive Director at Nebraska Community Blood Bank. “The ‘Pint for a Pint’ campaign is a favorite of many of our blood donors and we hope this fun incentive will inspire folks to make an appointment to give the gift of life this summer, support their favorite local businesses and beat the summer heat with a refreshing pint or ice cream treat!”
Blood donors can give every 56 days, and platelet donors can give twice per month. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently lifted several blood donor eligibility restrictions. To view current eligibility guidelines, visit ncbb.org or call (402) 486-9414.
