Lakewood BlueClaws Holding a Blood Drive In July

If you want to do some good this summer, why don't you consider donating blood

The Lakewood BlueClaws are teaming up with RWJ Barnabas Health and holding a blood drive on Wednesday, July 15th from 1:00 pm until 7:00 pm at First Energy Park in Lakewood

According to the BlueClaws:

While the need for blood is typically highest in the summer, the COVID-19 pandemic has further depleted the blood supply, making drives like these all the more important.

Pre-registration is strongly recommended and can be made by clicking here or calling 732-235-8100 ext 221 or 248. There is limited availability within each 15-minute time slot to ensure social distancing protocols will be followed.

All donors are instructed to eat and drink prior to the donation and to bring a photo ID. Masks or cloth face coverings are required for entry. Those that have been exposed to or cared for a positive COVID-19 patient within 28 days prior to the drive are not eligible to donate.

A screening will take place on the ground level before donors enter the ballpark.

All donors will receive two complimentary BlueClaws tickets and a commemorative t-shirt. Donors will also be entered to win a $50 gift card and a BlueClaws VIP experience for 20 that includes a night in a Luxury Suite, batting practice access, a ceremonial first pitch, 20 boardwalk and mini-golf passes, and the chance to watch post-game fireworks from the dugout.
