Scott Hartnell and the Flyers aren't going to beat the blood out of you -- they just want you to give that blood instead.

Do you bleed orange? Maybe blue and red? Maybe purple? Or, silver and black?

All you have to do is bleed red to show your support for a slew of Philly teams.

The Philadelphia Flyers, 76ers, Phantoms and Wings are joining forces along with Comcast-Spectacor are to hold a blood drive for the American Red Cross. Anyone who gives blood will receive a free replica jersey of their favorite Wachovia Complex team.

Not too bad -- do a good deed and get something for free.

The day-long blood drive will be held at the Wachovia Center on Saturday, January 24 from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.

To give blood you must be at least 16 years old (with parental consent) and weigh more than 110 pounds.

Fans looking to give should make an appointment in advance by contacting the American Red Cross at pleasegiveblood.org or by calling 1-800-GIVE-LIFE.
