Blood drive at Yankee Stadium; first 250 donors get free tickets

NEW YORK (PIX11) — The Yankees are in it for a home run — for blood donations.

The New York Blood Center teamed up with the New York Yankees to hold a blood drive at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday.

Donors can drop by from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Folks should sign up first before heading to Yankee Stadium and remember to bring a government ID. The first 250 donors will receive a pair of ticket vouchers for future games.
