Those who donate blood can enter a sweepstake to win one of 50 prizes, including:

  • Coaches’ Club tickets to the New York Jets’ home opener.
  • Tickets for “Top of the Rock” (30 Rockefeller) Observation Deck.
  • Monthly passes for NYC Ferry from Hornblower.
  • Executive Pass to the Empire State Building Observatory for the winner and five guests.
  • Free Krispy Kreme doughnuts for a year.

In Astoria, the 114th St Precinct is hosting a mobile blood drive on Wednesday December 9 and Thursday December 10, at 34-16 Astoria Blvd. Click here to schedule an appointment to donate on Wednesday December 9. Click here to schedule an appointment to donate on Thursday December 10.
