ATLANTIC CITY — Proud Atlantic City-ans, why not take part in a free event to celebrate A.C.’s most important icon — the Boardwalk — this Sunday, Nov. 11, from noon-1pm? The Board-Walk starts at the south end of Atlantic City near the Atlantic Club Casino Resort and ends at Revel to the north.

There is no registration needed for the walk, and everyone is invited to join. It will be hosted by the Atlantic City Alliance in conjunction with the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA). The first 225 people to call in to Longport Media at (609) 927-1100 will receive a free event T-shirt and participate in a large group photo on the Boardwalk on the day of the event.

Along the walk there will be a pit stop at the CRDA’s Boardwalk Operations Center for their “Weekend Social” event with complimentary coffee and water. The American Red Cross will be on-hand at the starting point to collect financial donations.

This is to remind everyone that Atlantic City’s famous Boardwalk and the businesses that line the famous wooden walkway are still open! More information can be found by clicking here or here.

MILLVILLE, N.J. — New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP), located at 8000 Dividing Creek Road in Millville, has teamed-up for the third year in a row with the American Red Cross for the annual special event blood drive to raise awareness about the critical need for donating blood during the summer months.

This year’s blood drive is scheduled for Saturday, July 21, at the Officers Club on Thunderbolt Raceway from 7am-3pm, and all donors will receive a three-day event ticket for the AMA Pro Road Racing event (value of over $65 each), presented by the American Red Cross and taking place Sept. 7-9 at NJMP.

AMA Pro Road Racing is the premier motorcycle road racing series in North America and is universally regarded as one of the most competitive road racing organizations in the world. The Series is comprised of four production-based classes: AMA Pro National Guard SuperBike, AMA Pro Daytona SportBike, AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com SuperSport and the AMA Pro Vance & Hines XR1200 Series. The weekend will also offer Track Walk with Pro AMA Riders, parade laps, Monster Truck rides, a battle of the bands, a bikini contest, a food-eating contests and much more!

Harbor Pines Golf Club & Estates in Egg Harbor Township will be the site of an American Red Cross blood drive on Thursday, March 31, from 10am-4pm. Harbor Pines is located at 500 St. Andrews Drive in EHT.

Appointments are preferred, and can be made by contacting Debbie at (609) 927-0006, ext. 13. All donors will receive complimentary greens fees to Harbor Pines golf course, plus the chance to win additional prizes at drawings held throughout the day.

Give the gift of life — the need is constant, the gratification is instant.

Ballamor Golf Club, the newest daily-fee golf club in southern New Jersey, will be the site of a unique American Red Cross Blood Drive in which people donating a pint of blood will be rewarded with a free round of golf at one of the most challenging, most spectacular and best-maintained golf courses in the Delaware Valley.
Donations will be taken on Tuesday, April 6, from 10am-4pm, at Ballamor Golf Club — located at 6071 English Creek Ave. in Egg Harbor Township.
The initial response from donors was overwhelming. The American Red Cross capped capacity at 50 when all donor spots were taken. However, the Red Cross recently added more equipment and people so that additional donors could be accommodated. This is the first time that Ballamor Golf Club has been open for the blood donation community event.
“Golfers know the difference between a good drive and a bad drive,” said Liz Norton-Scanga, Ballamor Golf Club’s director of marketing, in a release to the media. “But there is nothing more important than a Blood Drive to help save lives, create a new beginning for a cancer patient or a better tomorrow for a child with sickle cell disease.”
The American Red Cross mobile donation center will be set up in Ballamor Golf Club’s clubhouse. The free golf certificates are good for one year. Because of limited space, donors were asked to register for an appointment time at 609-609-601-6220, Ext. 6.
