  • Sports Arena Site for New Pop-Up Donor Center in Everett
    For Immediate Release Date: 11 May 2020 Contact: John Yeager | 425-765-9845 | [email protected] Karen Kirby | 206-689-6359| [email protected] Sports Arena Site For New Pop-Up Donor Center in Everett Seattle Storm and Everett Silvertips Transform Angel Of The Winds Arena into Pop-Up Donor Center to Support Bloodworks Northwest and Everett Community. Everett, WA — Bloodworks Northwest is joined by the Seattle Storm and Everett Silvertips in the effort to ensure a safe and reliable community blood supply amid the COVID-19 pandemic. From May 14 – June 6, 2020, the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center at Angel Of The Winds Arena will be transformed into a Pop-Up Donor Center experience and a lifeline for local patients. Storm and Silvertip fans are urged to make their one-hour donation appointment today as a safe and essential action to support local patients. In accordance with current social distancing guidelines, only scheduled appointments will be allowed. No walk-ins, guests, or people under age 16 are permitted onsite. On the day of their appointment, fans are invited to wear team colors and spread the word with #WeGotThis. Every donor will receive a pair of tickets to an upcoming Storm and Silvertips game. Social distancing recommendations have put a strain on opportunities to donate, as traditional blood drives and bloodmobiles are temporarily unavailable. Bloodworks has turned to an innovative alternative with Pop-Up Donor Centers that are held in large venues, allowing higher level of space and safety for donors and staff. “We’re grateful to have Angel Of The Winds Arena opening its doors to Seattle Storm and Everett Silvertips fans and Snohomish County neighbors to ensure the local blood supply is ready to respond to the increased need for blood as hospitals prepare to resume elective surgeries,” said Bloodworks Northwest President & CEO Curt Bailey.

    Texas Tech Postgame Quotes Texas Tech vs. No. 3 Kansas – February 11, 2017 HEAD COACH CHRIS BEARD Opening statement … “I thought it was a great crowd. I really appreciate the students coming out today, and all of the season ticket holders. We have a lot of objectives this first year building the program, and certainly one of them is to create one of the best atmospheres in college basketball. Those of us that are from Tech and love Lubbock, like myself, understands that on these special days. We have one of the best home courts in basketball. We have got to get to the point where we have crowds like this every night and not just when we play Kansas. I just want to say thank you to everyone who came out and spent your own money to buy tickets to this game to support our team. The crowd made a real difference. I thought that the crowd, in the second half helped willed us back into the game. Thank you, Lubbock, for a great crowd. Sorry that we came up a little bit short. We hope that you will continue to give us a chance.” On the team’s toughness in the second half … “I thought in the second half, we competed. I think we outplayed Kansas. In this game, we probably outplayed them 28 to 30 minuets out of the 40, but that doesn’t matter. It’s all about the final scoreboard. I like our guys before tonight, and I still like them. We are getting better.
