NSO Hosts Mayor’s Cup Blood Drive

On Monday, June 21, 2021, the Norfolk Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with the American Red Cross, will host a Mayor’s Cup Blood Drive. The blood drive is open to the public and will be held at the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside in the Monticello Room from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. All donors will receive a $5 Amazon electronic gift card and a ticket to a September Tides home game courtesy of the American Red Cross.

Donors must be at least 17 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good general health and feeling well, and must not have donated blood in the last 56 days.
