BUFFALO, N.Y. — ConnectLife is teaming up with Perry's Ice Cream and offering up a sweet promotion this summer to encourage more people to donate blood.
During the month of July — which happens to be National Ice Cream Month — anyone who donates blood at a ConnectLife blood drive will get a voucher for a pint of Perry's Ice Cream. The vouchers are redeemable at participating grocery and convenience stores.
Four lucky donors will win a Perry's prize pack. Two $100 Amazon gift cards will also be raffled off each day on July 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
"We’re proud to partner with ConnectLife for a third consecutive year to support the critical need for blood donations in our community," said Gayle Perry Denning, Chief Marketing Officer at Perry’s in a released statement.
"What better way to thank donors for their life saving pint than with a pint of extra indulgent Perry’s Ice Cream. Since this year’s drive coincides with National Ice Cream month, we are expecting to set a record for donations. Join our team in donating a pint at any ConnectLife Blood Drive in July to receive your free pint of extra indulgent Perry’s Ice Cream. Together we can make a difference in our neighbors’ lives."
Every pint of blood donated can save up to three lives in Western New York.
ConnectLife is the primary supplier of blood products to Kaleida Health, ECMC, Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, Wyoming County Community Health System, Olean General Hospital, Brooks Memorial Hospital, and Bradford Regional Medical Center.
