Donate blood and stand a chance to win tickets to Global Citizen concert

THE South African National Blood Service (SANBS) and Global Citizen recently announced a partnership to highlight the importance of donating blood for life.

Global Citizen will partner with SANBS to motivate young South Africans to donate blood in order to earn tickets to the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100, a free-ticketed event to be held on December 2 at the FNB Stadium.

“To address the ever-important need for blood donations, we have partnered with Global Citizen to engage the youth to donate between now and November 22 to earn tickets to the Global Citizen Festival Mandela 100,” said Silungile Mlambo, spokesperson for SANBS. “It is our sincere hope that they will continue to donate once the Mandela 100 campaign is over and truly prove themselves as the generation that saves lives.”

To earn tickets to the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100, donors can take action and donate blood. Participants can visit any SANBS donor centre or mobile drive in South Africa until November 22 this year.

By donating blood during this time, SANBS blood donors stand a chance to earn two tickets each, including flights (for donors outside of Gauteng), accommodation, dinner and breakfast the following morning, with transfers to and from the festival.

For full details on how and where to donate to earn your tickets, visit https://sanbs.org.za/donor-centres/. Winners will be contacted via telephone on November 26.
