The American Red Cross and the Cleveland Browns will host the annual Cleveland Browns First and Ten Blood Drive on Saturday, July 27 at 13 locations throughout northeast Ohio, including the KeyBank Club at Cleveland Browns Stadium from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. KeyBank Club is located on the south side of the facility next to the Browns Pro Shop on Alfred Lerner Way. Free parking is available on weekends at metered spots in front of the stadium.
All presenting blood donors will receive a Browns T-shirt, while supplies last, and be entered for a chance to win an autographed Browns football and four tickets and four pregame passes to the preseason home game versus the Vikings on Saturday, August 17, 2024.
Right now, blood donors are critically needed to support lifesaving transfusions this summer. Donors of all blood types are in demand, especially those with type O blood. Full summer schedules and holiday plans often mean regular donors are not able to give but the need for blood doesn't take a summer break.
Schedule an appointment to give blood with the Blood Donor App, visit **RedCrossBlood.org** and enter sponsor code "BROWNS" or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
