American Red Cross Seeking Blood Donors

This April, the American Red Cross urges individuals to give lifesaving blood or platelets now as seasonal travel ramps up. Spring break and holidays can make it challenging to keep donation appointments, but each donation is critical to patient care.

All who come to give in April will be automatically entered for a chance to win a $5,000 gift card. There will be three lucky winners. Additionally, those who come to give April 1-13, 2025, will receive a $15 Amazon.com Gift Card by email. All who come to give later in the month, April 14-30, 2025, will receive an exclusive Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last. See RedCrossBlood.org/Hope for details on all three offers.
