Donating blood this summer could lead to more than just saving a life—it could also fill your tank for a very long time. BloodworksNW has launched a sweepstakes offering participants who give blood between June 1 and July 31, 2026, a chance to win a $10,000 digital gas gift card.

The initiative, centered on the idea that "good deeds get good gas mileage," encourages West Seattle residents to "pump some good into the world" by providing the fuel needed to save lives. The lucky winner will be notified on or around August 15, 2026, with an official announcement following by August 30.

Upcoming Donation Events

Several blood drives are scheduled across West Seattle throughout June and July:

• Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (4001 44th Ave SW): Monday, June 8; Tuesday, June 9; and Wednesday, June 24.
• Our Lady of Guadalupe (7000 35th Ave SW): Monday, June 29; Tuesday, June 30; Wednesday, July 1; Monday, July 6; and Tuesday, July 7.
