Blood donors this fall play an important role in keeping the blood supply high enough to help patients on blood or platelets, especially ahead of the busy holiday season.
Book a time to give blood or platelets by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or by calling 1.800.RED CROSS (1.800.733.2767).
As a thank you, the Red Cross is offering these exciting opportunities for donors:
- All who come to give through Sept. 30 will be automatically entered for a chance to win a VIP NASCAR racing experience, including two tickets to a 2023 Sport Clips Haircuts-sponsored race of the winner’s choice, round-trip airfare for two, up to a three-night hotel stay, and entry to a Sport Clips racetrack hospitality tent, if available, plus a $750 gift card, thanks to Sport Clips.
- Those who come to give in September will also receive a coupon for a free haircut by email, also thanks to Sport Clips. Details are available at redcrossblood.org/racetogive.
- All who come to give Oct. 1-31, 2022, will receive a $5 e-Gift Card by email to a merchant of choice.
