Bleed #ForTheThrone blood drive

BOISE, Idaho — The American Cross is asking volunteers to donate blood to help alleviate a winter shortage.

"Type O" blood is currently in especially short supply, but the group says it less than a three-day supply of most blood types.

Donors of all blood types can schedule an appointment by visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

For a limited time, "Game of Thrones" fans have a special incentive to contribute.

Red Cross has partnered with HBO for the "Bleed #ForTheThrone" promotion.

Fans who donate blood before March 17, 2019, will will automatically be entered for a chance to win one of five trips to the season 8 world premiere of Game of Thrones. The trip includes travel for two, up to two nights hotel accommodations and a $250 gift card for expenses. Terms and conditions apply and are available at RedCrossBlood.org/HBOGameofThrones.

Additionally, those who donate from March 7-12 will also receive exclusive "Game of Thrones" merchandise including a T-shirt, stickers to unlock a unique Snapchat filter and other items, while supplies last.
