Coke Corner Winners

Thanks to all those who helped save lives during the month of April, when Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center and Houston Coca-Cola teamed up to offer the Houston Astros Coke Corner giveaway.

Six lucky individuals who donated or attempted to donate in April were randomly selected to win a family four-pack of tickets to the Saturday, July 8 Houston Astros game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Winners will sit in a special section of Minute Maid Park and enjoy food and soft drinks during the game, courtesy of Houston Coca-Cola.

Congratulations to the following:

 Joseph Taylor Whitaker, of Humble, has been helping save lives for about 12 years. He donates regularly at the Humble/Kingwood Neighborhood Donor Center and was thrilled to win Astros tickets for his recent donation.
Joe Ray, of Katy, began donating blood in Kansas City and continued his commitment when he moved to the Houston area last year. He donates because he is a "universal" O-negative donor and feels rewarded to know he can help save lives.
Douglas Teller, of Sugar Land, is an Astros fan who qualified to win this giveaway by donating at the Houston Astros opening day blood drive at Minute Maid Park. He is a Commit for Life donor who helps save lives regularly at The Blood Center's mobile drives
Lisa Kelly, of Deer Park, Commits for Life at her workplace in downtown Houston. She has been helping save lives for about two years and looks forward to sharing this Commit for Life benefit with her husband and two daughters.
Damon Smith of Nacogdoches
Lilibeth Trevino, of Houston, is a 17-year-old blood donor from Nimitz High School. She learned the importance of blood donations from The Power of Life program and will share her Astros tickets with her family.
