Recently, the American Red Cross has seen a drop in blood donation appointments. As people begin to travel for summer, they are asking for donations to ensure a strong blood supply. Type O blood donors are especially needed.
Donors who give blood through May 31 will receive an exclusive Red Cross beach towel, while supplies last. In addition, donors in May will also be automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for two to the 2023 MLB® All-Star Game® in Seattle, including two tickets, round-trip airfare, four-night hotel accommodations, a $750 gift card and more.
Those who donate June 1-30 will receive a $10 gift card by email to a merchant of choice, automatically entered for a chance to win a backyard theater package including a projector and screen, projector tripod, smokeless firepit, Adirondack chair set and a movie night snack package.
Appointments can be made by visiting redcrossblood.org or by calling 800-733-2767.
