Hilton Garden Inn to Host Blood Drive Dec. 27

Imagine giving a gift that everyone wants but money can’t buy.

That gift could be one that brings more smiles, more joy, more hugs, and more time with family and friends. Then imagine you can by donating blood through your American Red Cross.

“We’re asking you to think outside the gift box this holiday season,” said Katy Berger, Communications Associate for the Northern Ohio Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross.  “The perfect gift doesn’t come with a bow or fit under a tree. Your gift of life comes from within, and it costs nothing more than about an hour of your time.”

On Tuesday, December 27, 2011 the Hilton Garden Inn North Canton will host a special blood drive with the American Red Cross. From 1 PM to 7 PM blood donors will have the chance to donate the gift of life at the beautiful hotel, located at 5251 Landmark Boulevard in North Canton.

All who come to donate will receive a free pound of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee while supplies last and have the chance to win raffle prizes every ½ hour! They will also have the chance to win a free overnight stay to the Hilton Garden Inn North Canton and the chance to win a $100 gift card to Best Buy!

This blood drive is proudly sponsored by the Hilton Garden Inn North Canton, the City of North Canton and Summa Health System.

Donors can schedule appointment by calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by visiting redcrossblood.org and entering the sponsor code ‘hiltongardeninn’

“When you give blood or platelets, you’re giving someone hope,” said Berger. “It’s hard to think of a more perfect gift.”
