  • Seattle Sports Teams Unite with Bloodworks
    For Immediate Release Date: 23 April 2020 Contact: John Yeager | 425-765-9845 | [email protected] Karen Kirby | 206-689-6359| [email protected] Seattle Sports Teams Unite with Bloodworks Northwest to Save Lives Seattle Seahawks, Storm, and Sounders FC Join Mariners and Bloodworks at T-Mobile Park Pop-Up Blood Drives Seattle, WA —Seattle’s sports teams band together in solidarity to provide much needed support for their home town. Last week, Bloodworks and the Seattle Mariners announced a new partnership to host a 7-week long Pop-Up blood drive experience at T-Mobile Park to address the ongoing need for a stable blood supply amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Following suit, the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Sounders FC, and Seattle Storm have all stepped up to the plate to provide extra assistance. Each of the teams have committed to hosting their own additional blood drive at T-Mobile Park. Inviting players, staff, friends and family for their team days, the additional drives will bring the total number to 1,600 potential donation appointments at the Pop-Up Blood Drives. Those donations would have otherwise been unavailable due to all the cancelled community drives. “It’s great to see the community respond so enthusiastically, and to have Seattle’s sports teams join together in solidarity during this time of need to make a difference. It’s nice to give back. It’s one of the essential things we can do, and with the blood donations being critically needed, why wouldn’t we?” said Seattle Mariners President & CEO Kevin Mather.
