 Many summer activities, such as vacations and travel, cause
frequent blood donors to be less available to give during the
summer. However, hospital patients still depend on volunteer donors
to receive lifesaving transfusions – the need for blood does not get
a vacation.
To encourage more people to donate around Independence Day, all
those who come out to donate blood July 2-6, 2015, will receive a
Red Cross embroidered hat, while supplies last.
Eligible donors are encouraged to choose their day to make a
difference. Donors of all blood types – especially those with types
O negative, A negative and B negative – are needed. To make an
appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App,
visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
