Give blood, save lives, and say goodbye to Highmark Stadium

On November 26th, the day before Thanksgiving, blood donors are welcomed inside Highmark Stadium’s Toyota Club for a blood drive from 9am to 3pm.  The event is hosted ConnectLife, Western New York’s only community blood bank, and the Buffalo Bills.  In addition to giving Western New Yorkers the opportunity to save lives, the blood drive it's also gives fans one more chance to get inside Highmark Stadium before the Bills host their final game in the stadium.

Raffles, prizes and more!

To celebrate the special occasion, ConnectLife will be holding raffles throughout the day, with prizes including an autographed Josh Allen jersey, an autographed Greg Rousseau helmet, and tickets to the final regular season home game at the stadium against the Jets.

All November donors, including those at the Highmark Stadium drive, will receive a pair of “I Bleed Blue” Buffalo Bills gloves. And donations there will count towards the end-of-year Suite Seats raffle – a suite for 16 to the final Bills-Jets game. Details of that raffle can be found here.

Donations stay local 

Blood donated to ConnectLife stays local, helping hospitals in WNY’s eight counties maintain safe inventory levels. Donation appointments are available at centers in Williamsville, West Seneca, Tonawanda and at blood drives around the area.
