Register and do a good deed: Blood donation at the BayArena
Once again this year, Bayer 04 Leverkusen and the German Red Cross (DRK) are calling for blood donations at the BayArena. Registration for the event on 3 August can be made online now.
Blood supplies worldwide are not only down due to the coronavirus pandemic. The willingness to donate is on the decline and there is a big shortage of the 'claret'. Bayer 04 have supported the DRK campaign #missingtype for several years. As in 2020 and 2021, blood donations can be made in the Premium Lounge on the second floor at the BayArena.
The day of action is on Wednesday 3 August from 15.00 CEST to 19.00 CEST and there is free car parking under the motorway in the immediate vicinity of the BayArena. Access to the stadium is via the North West entrance.
