Seasonal illnesses and the holiday season are two of the reasons the blood supply typically dwindles this time of year. The American Red Cross has scheduled a number of blood drives in Madison County for the month of January in hopes of replenishing the region’s blood supply, and there’s a special promotion going on for part of the month too.

Red Cross spokesman Joe Zydlo (ZID-low) says anyone that donates before January 19th will be eligible for a chance to experience the Super Bowl live.

That is a nationwide contest. You can donate at any of a number of blood drives coming up this month. You can find out where to give blood at www.redcross.org .
