The American Red Cross is sponsoring several blood drives in the area over the next few weeks.
Please consider signing up to donate blood or platelets as Memorial Day and summertime activities heat up. The Red Cross relies on blood and platelet donations to help medical centers stay ready and be able to respond quickly to emergencies.
If you donate by May 31, you’ll receive an oversized Red Cross beach towel, while supplies last.
And anyone who comes to give June 1-28 will receive a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice, plus automatic entry for a chance to win one of two $7,500 gift cards. See RedCrossBlood.org/June for details.
Book your time to give lifesaving blood or platelets now — To schedule, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED CROSS or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
