The American Red Cross is asking for people to help patients in need by making an appointment to give blood. As part of a new spring campaign, the Red Cross will be accepting blood donations at Offerman Baptist Church in Offerman, 1 p.m. - 6 p.m April 7.
A recent Red Cross press release reads, “Donors of all blood types remain critical to keeping momentum up and the blood supply stable as spring begins.”
To help promote the importance of blood drives and show the power of doing good, the Red Cross has partnered with wellknown positive lifestyle brand Life is Good. Those who give blood March 30 April 12 will get an exclusive Red Cross x Life is Good T-shirt, while supplies last.
“Life is Good has always been about more than a Tshirt; it's a reminder that the world is full of good worth fighting for, and that spreading optimism starts with the everyday choices we make,” says Linne Kimball, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for Life is Good. “For us, partnering with the Red Cross was a natural fit, because giving blood is proof that one person and one simple act can make a real difference. We hope this collaboration inspires donors old and new to turn positivity into purpose ─ because doing good doesn't have to be complicated, sometimes all it takes is rolling up a sleeve.”
Paul Sullivan, senior vice president of donor services for the Red Cross, says it is critical donors make appointments to help get ahead of any seasonal shortages. Sullivan also expressed his gratitude for the new partnership, “The Red Cross is grateful to Life is Good for joining us in an important mission ─ sparking optimism and kindness through blood donation.”
Donors can reserve a spot at the upcoming blood drive by visiting RedCrossBlood. org, downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, or calling 1-800-REDCROSS.
