It will take place at the Blood Center of the Pacific's Irwin Center office in San Francisco. Donors giving blood according to the instructions provided at the donation website will receive one free general admission ticket to the Exotic Erotic Ball on Oct. 27, a value of $69.
The Ball hosts the annual blood drive with Blood Centers of the Pacific and last year, 50 donors gave 50 pints of blood and each received a ticket to the Ball.
The Exotic Erotic Ball has long fostered strong ties to the San Francisco Bay Area community. Over the years, the Ball has distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to charities supporting causes such as helping the victims of homelessness, AIDS, domestic violence and child abuse, and has always supported freedom of expression and 1st Amendment rights.
For this year's event, rapper Snoop Dogg will perform in a charity concert at the Cow Palace Arena on Oct. 27 as part of the Exotic Erotic Expo and Ball weekend, with all funds being donated to The Healing Circle and other San Francisco Bay area charities.
So far, the Ball has donated $45,000 to The Healing Circle with Snoop Dogg through July. Snoop will return the next night, Oct. 27, as a special guest at the Ball, where he will join Tera Patrick and Danny Bonaduce as judges of the Ball's world-famous costume contests.
