Presenting donors to receive free tickets to October circus

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® is partnering with the American Red Cross to help meet patient needs in northern Ohio. In connection with their show at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse this October, the Ringling Bros. will host a blood drive Saturday, September 20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The blood drive will be held at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, located at 1 Center Court in Cleveland.

All presenting donors will receive two complimentary tickets to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Presents LegendsSM playing October 22-26, 2014 (select performance dates below*). Also, donors can enter for a chance to win a VIP door prize, with a winner to be picked every hour. A free Kid’s Zone will also be available for children to enjoy while their parents donate. The Kid’s Zone will include a jump house on the practice court and a craft station.

“This event will not only raise awareness about the constant need for blood but will offer donors the opportunity to experience the excitement of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey,” said Christy Sabaka, External Communications Manager for the Northern Ohio Region of the American Red Cross. “This type of support from sponsors is essential to allow us to continue to meet the needs of patients in northern Ohio.”
