Give A Little (Blood) Get A Lot

-
The Blood Center of Wisconsin has two great promos going on right now in an effort to increase blood donations. Both of them include getting in free to an event - Wisconsin State Fair or a Brewer's game.

State Fair Promo

If you donate blood at one of our donor centers now through August 11, you’ll give the gift of life to up to three people. And as a special thank you for donating during this time of high need, you’ll score a free one-day admission to the State Fair — one of the most family-friendly and affordable entertainment experiences of Wisconsin’s summer season.
Call 1-877-BE-A-HERO (1-877-232-4376) or 1-414-937-6199 to make an appointment. Be sure to mention "Summer" to get your free ticket.

Or make an appointment online at one of their donor centers. Type "Summer" in the comment box on the confirmation page during your online registration.

In addition to the Wisconsin State Fair ticket, you'll also receive an extra 200 recognition points in our Giving for Life program for your summer donation. It's another way to thank you for your life-saving contribution. If you have questions, or would like more information about the Giving for Life program, call 1-877-BE-A-HERO (1-877-232-4376) or 414-937-6199.

Big League Blood Drive

In baseball, you have to be a closer to get a save. But most of us can get a save without ever pitching a ball – by giving blood at the 11th Annual Big League Blood Drive!  Join us Tuesday, August 28 & Thursday, August 30 as we partner with the Crew to save lives in our community.

As a thank you, all attempting donors will receive a voucher for a pair of tickets to a game later this season!  Donors can choose from:

  • Tuesday, Sept. 11 vs Atlanta

  • Monday, Oct. 1 vs. San Diego

Tuesday, August 28

7 a.m. - 7 p.m. Miller Park 1 Brewers Way Milwaukee, WI

Thursday, August 309 a.m. - 2 p.m. Location TBD

• Free parking
• Childcare provided

Call 1-877-BE-A-HERO (1-877-232-4376) or 1-414-937-6199 to make an appointment or make an appointment online.

Tosa Embracing, Placing Skaters In Safe Space

Hey look quick, its kids being active! It is all too common for us to bemoan the sedentary lifestyle of modern children and there are many efforts to increase their level of activity. At the same time, we condemn physical activities we once did as youths with no thought of safety. It is understandable that we want to protect our kids and promote safe practices like wearing of helmets. But how do we reconcile our concerns of safety while also promoting physical activity? One of the best ways is to create and maintain safe spaces for them to do the activities. In Wauwatosa they are doing just that with a new skate park being planned in Hart Park. With the assistance of Tosa Skateboarders United , TSU, and the  Jack Doyle Memorial Challenge Grant funds have been raised to build a new skate park that will provide a dedicated, safe place for skaters in the city to, well, skate.
