Bellmore Library to Host Super Bowl Blood Drive

Bellmore Memorial Library will host a "Super Bowl Blood Drive" on Tuesday. 

The 2014 Super Bowl Host Committee has partnered with New York Blood Center to help increase blood donations leading up to Super Bowl XLVIII.

All presenting donors with New York Blood Center between now and Jan. 17, 2014 will be entered into a sweepstakes for one pair of tickets to Super Bowl XLVIII, valued at $2,500.

The more an individual donates, the more times they will be entered. 

According to New York Blood Services, in order for participants to donate blood, they must meet the following requirements:

• Must bring an ID with a signature or photo
• Must be a minimum of 110 pounds
• Must be the ages of 16 to 76 (16 year olds must have parental permission and people over the age of 76 need a doctor’s note)
• Must eat well and drink fluids beforehand
• No tattoos in the past 12 months

The event will take place at the library from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
