Pelican Blood Drive

During the winter months people are not thinking about the blood supply at local hospitals. Everyone assumes that when someone needs blood it will be there. Seventy percent of the blood used for patients at local hospitals comes from donors in the community.

Pelican Ski & Snowboard Shops in New Jersey and Pennsylvania recognize the importance of donating blood. Pelican will give to those who donate blood during the month of January:

-$10 Gift Card
-Free Daily Rental
-50% Off Season Rental

Anyone who donates blood in New Jersey or Pennsylvania between January 1st and 31st will receive a proof of donation letter from the hospital. The donor can then present the original letter to Pelican and receive a Complete Daily Ski/Snowboard Rental Certificate & $10 Gift Card. The rental certificate and $10 Gift Card can be used that same day or saved for future use and may even be given away to any friend or family member who would like to ski or snowboard. Donors must present their letters to any Pelican Ski & Snowboard Shop by February 5th and the rental certificate and $10 Gift Card will expire in April 2024.

Renters must have a valid driver's license and credit card. A refundable deposit is also required.

To be eligible to donate blood a person must be at least 17 years of age, be in good health and weigh at least 110 pounds. Donors are very generous people who give blood only to help others in need. It isn't every day you can save someone's life.

"Pelican Ski & Snowboard Shops are excited to have the opportunity to aid such a wonderful cause in our community," said manager Bruce Sanderson. "We challenge all who are eligible to donate blood and help make a difference in our local community." Visit www.pelicanshops.com for Pelican locations and additional information.
