There is a unique race coming to Erie, and the Community Blood Bank is one of the beneficiaries. Introducing the Stanganelli’s Pepperoni Ball Jog ‘n Hog – Friday, June 15 at Presque Isle State Park. Participants will start at Beach 1, run out 2 miles, stop and eat a half-dozen pepperoni balls and then run (or waddle) back 2 miles. Get all the details at www.jognhog.com.
The Community Blood Bank will benefit two ways from this fun race. There will be a promotion at the CBB to give donors a discounted registration coupon when they give blood. This will happen a few weeks before June 15th. Hopefully some daring people will give blood before the race so we can be prepared for summer. Some of the proceeds from the race will be donated back to us, that money will be used to buy additional advertising. This will be especially beneficial heading into summer, the hardest time of the year for the blood supply.
Blood donors tend to be a fun and adventurous group and this kind of event is right up our alley so get your running shoes on and grab a napkin!
