NBC/Yard Goats Stadium Blood Drive
Other Event Type for American National Red CrossMay 19, 2022 from 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM
Six Flags New England has been a wonderful partner over the years with the American Red Cross in Connecticut. This year I am hoping that Six Flags New England can support 2 events. The first is the NBC Connecticut Blood Drive which will be held at two locations this year due to COVID social distancing. Both Dunkin/Yard Goat Staduim in Hartford and Farmington Gardens in Farmington have graciously offered their locations to host the blood drive. We are anticipating between 350 to 400 donors to attend this event across both venues. The goal will be to collect 300 units of life saving blood that can help up to 900 patients in need. I have included the information below for this event. It is scheduled and on the calendar. The first marketing piece is a post card that will be sent to potential blood donors. The deadline to have the six flags logo on that piece would be 3/18.
As it relates to reach - this is a super low number. This is a media drive and the partnership would be shared. In addition, to social media and all promotional material specific to the drive.
The second event/blood drive will be in June at the Armory in Hartford for the Army National Guard and reserves. We still are in the process of planning. This drive would be goaled at 100 and require about 150 tickets. I can provide more details. If I need to set up a event for this separately please let me know.
For both of these events I would need about 500 tickets.
I thank you in advance for your consideration. Lynne
