Metallica Announce Mohegan Sun Blood Drive
(NLM) Following the lifesaving success of the collaboration that kicked off last year, the American Red Cross and Metallica are once again joining forces to help patients in need with an exciting, three-day opportunity to give lifesaving blood ahead of their upcoming Connecticut shows.
In celebration of the band's upcoming concerts honoring Mohegan Sun Arena's 25th Anniversary, members of the Metallica Family and eligible donors of all blood types ─ especially those with type O blood ─ are urged to make a difference by booking an appointment now to give blood Nov. 18 or Nov. 20-21, 2026, at the Red Cross x Metallica Blood Drive hosted by Mohegan Sun in the Uncas Ballroom.
All who come to give at these drives will get an exclusive Red Cross x Metallica T-shirt designed by Squindo, while supplies last. "This partnership demonstrates the incredible difference people can make when they come together for a meaningful cause," said Richard Branigan, CEO, American Red Cross Connecticut and Rhode Island Region. "We look forward to welcoming donors to Mohegan Sun, celebrating the generosity of the Metallica Family and helping save lives through blood donation."
"Metallica's connection with its fans goes far beyond the stage, and we're honored to host the continuation of their blood drive campaign that has collected tens of thousands of donations worldwide," said Jeff Hamilton, President & General Manager of Mohegan Sun. "This is a unique opportunity to celebrate the excitement surrounding Metallica's upcoming concerts while also supporting such an impactful cause. We encourage everyone to join us in making this a successful blood drive and a huge thanks goes out to the Red Cross and Metallica for the collaboration!"
The last two months of the year can be a challenge for many donors trying to juggle regular donation appointments with packed schedules full of seasonal activities and holiday planning. Now's the chance to join our band and make a difference.
