ABOUT THE EVENT:
As Six Flags America begins its annual Fright Fest Halloween Celebration, the Maryland theme park is bringing awareness to something much scarier than ghouls and zombies: empty blood banks. To combat the need for blood in Baltimore and Washington region, Six Flags America has teamed up with the American Red Cross (Greater Chesapeake Region), to host a blood drive at the park. Blood donors who participate at the drive will receive one complimentary ticket to visit Six Flags America any day during Fright Fest.
