Blood drive offers chance at Roman trip

2/7/2008

If you want to do as the Romans do - and possibly do it during a free trip to Rome - then donate blood in the Toledo area.

Ohio and Michigan residents who are at least 21 years old and donate blood before March 31 can enter to win a five-night trip for two from Toledo to Rome.

The June 16-22 trip includes a day trip to Florence and other amenities, and it is sponsored by American Red Cross Blood Services and The Blade.

Twenty finalists will be drawn from all sweepstakes entrants, and they will participate in a reverse raffle at the Toledo Club on April 7 to determine a winner.
