The Indiana Region of the American Red Cross is excited to partner with the Evansville Thunderbolts Hockey Team to provide fans with the opportunity to support the Red Cross mission and donate lifesaving blood products.

The Thunderbolts are offering discounted tickets for games on Saturday, November 1 at 7 p.m. and Friday, November 21 at 7 p.m. To purchase game tickets, please click here. A portion of each ticket purchased through the link will support the American Red Cross and our work to help people impacted by disaster, teach lifesaving skills, aid military members, veterans and their families and more.

Fans can also support our lifesaving mission by giving blood on Friday, November 21 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Corner Club at the Ford Center located at 1 SE Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Evansville. To make an appointment to give blood, visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter sponsor code thunderbolts or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood, and we depend on the generosity of volunteer donors to help save lives.

During National Diabetes Awareness Month in November, successful blood donations will receive free A1C testing, commonly used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes. (One test result per donor in a 12-month period; do not fast before you donate). Visit RedCrossBlood.org/diabetes for details.

All who come to give Nov. 17-Dec. 7, 2025, will receive an exclusive pair of Red Cross x PAC-MAN socks, while supplies last. BONUS: Those who come to give during the same time frame will receive a custom GASHAPON®, while they last. This high-quality collectible won’t last long – supplies are limited so hurry in to get yours!
