Dallas Cowboys Host Blood Drive at AT&T Stadium to Combat Shortages

Combating North Texas Blood Shortages

• 🎯 The Dallas Cowboys are partnering with Carter Blood Care for a blood drive at AT&T Stadium to address critical blood shortages in North Texas.
• ⚠️ Summer is considered "trauma season" due to increased outdoor activities leading to more accidents and a higher demand for blood.
• 📉 The "summer slowdown" in donations, particularly when school blood drives cease, can cause delays in surgeries and cancer treatments.

Donor Perks and Experience

• 🎟️ The first 1,000 donors will receive a free ticket to see the Cowboys vs. Baltimore Ravens preseason game.
• 🌟 Additional perks include stadium tour vouchers for the first 500 donors, a Carter tote bag, and appearances by Cowboys Stars, cheerleaders, and players.
• ⏱️ The entire donation process takes approximately one hour.
