August donors have a chance to follow Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow all the way to the Super Bowl by joining the “Let’s Go with Joe” campaign. Everyone who registers to donate through Sept. 3 at any CBC blood drive, or the Dayton CBC Donation Center is automatically entered in the drawing to win a pair of Bengals season tickets. All registered donors also receive the “Sunshine & Saving Lives” t-shirt.
