Donate blood to UCI Health and get Angels tickets

UCI Health and Angels Baseball are partnering in a series of blood drives at Angel Stadium this summer to increase the supply for people in need at Orange County’s only Level I trauma center and Level II pediatric trauma center.

Donors will receive vouchers that can be exchanged at the stadium box office for two tickets to a future Angels game, valid while supplies last. Appointments are limited and must be made online. Complete the online form with a valid email address and submit it. Please check back again for additional dates, which are added as current donation days fill up.

UC Irvine Medical Center annually treats more than half of the county’s trauma victims and transfuses approximately 1,000 units of blood to our patients each month. These blood drives will help meet the needs of the patients during the summer months when blood shortages often occur. 

The UCI Health blood mobile will be parked near the stadium ticket office and the giant red Angels helmets on July 10, 16 and 24, and Aug. 2. Donors must be at least 17 years old and may give blood only once every 56 days. They should be prepared to spend 45 minutes or so at the stadium on the day they donate.

After donating, participants can walk to the ticket booth and exchange their vouchers for game tickets. The Angels have set aside certain sections from which to choose seats. The box office is open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday when the Angels are out of town or not playing, and until the seventh inning on game days.

Please check our UCI Health website for additional rules about who can donate.

In addition to the blood drive dates at Angel stadium, you can donate at the UC Irvine Medical Center Blood Donor Center in Orange or the UC Irvine Campus Blood Donor Center, located in the student center on the university campus in Irvine.

Angels vouchers will be given out to donors at both donor centers throughout the summer while supplies last.
