The American Red Cross greatly appreciates the outpouring of support from the racing community. From sharing the ‘text ‘REDCROSS ‘ to 90999 to give $10’ message to financial donations to volunteering, your support means a world of difference to those affected by Superstorm Sandy. If you ‘re looking for additional ways to support or you ‘re not in the position to give financially, we wanted to remind fans that giving blood or platelets is an amazing way to show your support and it could help save a life.
Biffle is supporting the Red Cross by helping them offer the chance to win signed racing prizes for those commit to give blood over the next two weeks. Recruit the most friends and family to give blood and you could be attending the Texas race *next* year. More info at the Red Cross Facebook page.(Red Cross PR)
