Get Pricked, Get Ticket to Exotic Erotic Ball

SAN FRANCISCOThe 30th Annual Exotic Erotic Ball and Expo—the internationally acclaimed Celebration of Flesh, Fetish and Fantasy—proudly announces its Ninth Annual Blood Drive from 2-9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16, at Blood Centers of the Pacific’s Irwin Center, 270 Masonic Ave., at Turk, San Francisco CA.

The Exotic Erotic Blood Drive is held in advance of the Ball and thanks to these efforts, the Exotic Erotic Ball has helped save the lives of more than 1,000 Bay Area residents with the gallons of blood that have been donated by Ball attendees over the past eight years.

Don Burghardt, Director of Donor Recruitment, states, "This is the ninth consecutive year that the Exotic Erotic Ball has been helping save lives in the Bay Area. Many people would not have another Halloween if it weren't for the Exotic Erotic Ball."

Now in its ninth year, Blood Centers of the Pacific is once again anticipating breaking donation records. In 2008, Exotic Erotic Ball attendees donated 157 pints of blood, shattering the 2007 record of 84 donations. Blood Centers of the Pacific needs more than 500 donations a day to meet the Bay Area blood needs.
