The American Red Cross and Six Flags Entertainment Corporation are teaming up to encourage donors to help save lives this summer. Those who come to donate blood at select blood drives in July and August in Oklahoma will receive a ticket to a Six Flags theme park of your choice, including Frontier City and Hurricane Harbor Oklahoma City, while supplies last.

When emergencies happen, hospitals must have lifesaving blood products on hand. In the most critical cases, medical teams may rely on dozens — or even hundreds — of blood products to save a single patient. Immediate access to blood products is a key part of summer safety.

All those who come to donate at select blood drives will receive one free ticket, while supplies last. Tickets are valid during the 2026 season, and other restrictions may apply. Donors are encouraged to check the park website for information on open dates and hours.
