Late May signals the beginning of a busy time for celebrations and summer holidays. The American Red Cross asks donors to make an appointment to give blood now before calendars start to fill up. Donors of all blood types – especially those giving type O blood and donors giving platelets – are vital to people counting on blood products for critical medical procedures. The Red Cross has teamed up with Tetris, creators of the iconic, best-selling video game, to celebrate their 40th anniversary and build the blood supply for patients in need. In commemoration, all who come to give May 20-June 9, 2024, will get an exclusive Tetris® + Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last, plus be automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for two to New York to meet Tetris creator, Alexey Pajitnov.
Upcoming chances to give in our area include:
6/11/2024: 12 p.m. – 6 p.m., Winfield Senior Living Community, 1320 Wheat Rd.
6/13/2024: 12 p.m. – 6 p.m., Cornerstone Bible Fellowship Church, 3725 E Ninth
