Ohio Red Cross giving away new car, or Amish buggy

(08-02) 05:33 PDT CLEVELAND (AP) --

To spur blood donations, an Ohio Red Cross chapter is offering people who give a pint of blood the chance to win a car or a horse-drawn buggy.

Spokeswoman Christy Chapman in Cleveland says the Red Cross didn't want to leave its many Amish donors out of the giveaway. The organization's Northern Ohio blood services region includes three counties with one of the nation's largest Amish populations.

Blood donors who prefer a more modern mode of transportation can win a 2010 Nissan Versa. :shrug:
