The San Diego Automotive Museum and the San Diego Blood Bank are teaming up to save lives through their annual blood drive on March 9th from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the San Diego Automotive Museum. Last year's event resulted in the saving of 35 lives, a testament to the community's generosity and support. As a token of appreciation, all donors will receive a free family membership to the San Diego Automotive Museum, which guarantees free unlimited admission for one year for two adults and four children in the same household as well as two guest passes. While appointments are preferred for participation in this life-saving initiative, walk-ins are also welcome, subject to availability. The San Diego Blood Bank must collect more than 350 units of blood each day to meet the needs of local patients of all ages, socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds throughout Southern California. These patients are struggling with life-threatening medical conditions including cancer and other blood disorders, severe burns, organ transplants, emergency surgery, trauma, childbirth complications and more. All blood types are needed. About the San Diego Automotive Museum: Since 1988, the mission of the San Diego Automotive Museum is to tell the story of the social and technological past, present, and future of motorized vehicles throughout its collections, exhibitions, and educational programs.
