“We are very grateful for our donors who play a vital role in helping save local lives so we are excited to give people a chance to win this set of Carolina Panthers’ tickets,” said Kim Jones, director of recruitment and retention at Community Blood Center of the Carolinas. “With the busy holidays and cold and flu season, our blood supply tends to run lower than other times of year. Our goal is to help keep our blood supply strong as there is always an ongoing need for blood. We encourage people to donate life-saving blood to support local patients and our home team.”
