/PRNewswire/ -- Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SPH), a
national distributor of propane, fuel oil and related products and

longtime partners at the American Red Cross and pro football Hall
of Famer Jerry Rice to
encourage people across the nation to give blood. This effort is an
important part of Suburban Propane's ongoing SuburbanCares

As a thank-you for helping meet the need for blood donations

Red Cross and Pro Football Hall of Famer and blood donor Jerry
Rice to raise awareness about the need to donate blood this
spring," said Nandini Sankara,
spokesperson, Suburban Propane. "This effort is a wonderful
addition to our SuburbanCares corporate initiative, aimed at giving
back to our local communities throughout the nation, and we are
delighted to sponsor this giveaway in hopes of motivating even more
people to donate blood and give the gift of life."
To help encourage blood donations this spring, Jerry Rice shares the importance of donating
blood. As a blood donor himself, he urges individuals to roll up a
sleeve and take pride in the lifesaving impact they're making.
"Here's your chance to make a difference," said Rice. "You never
know who you might be helping. It could be a friend or a family
member who needs blood – and that's why it's so important."
Eligible individuals are urged to make an appointment to
donate blood now to help patients in need. Find a donation
opportunity using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting

only source of blood donations to help patients in need," said
