A blood drive will be held from 1-6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, at the Southeast Georgia Regional Agriculture Center (formerly known as the NFC Building) located at 705 College Avenue in Blackshear.
The American Red Cross asks donors to give blood now to help maintain a healthy blood supply. Donors of all blood types, especially those with types O positive and B negative blood, are urged to make an appointment to keep lifesaving blood products ready the moment patients need them.
The Red Cross and Peanuts are once again joining forces to remind people that a little good goes a long way. In celebration of the 75th anniversary of Peanuts those who come to give blood will get an exclusive Red Cross x Peanuts mystery bag with one of four special T-shirt designs, while they last.
Each design is iconic, and donors won’t know which one they’ll get until they open the bag. Additionally, there will be a number of golden tickets randomly placed in the mystery bags hidden throughout the country. Donors who find a golden ticket when they open their bag will have the chance to redeem it through an online form for all four T-shirts! See RedCrossBlood. org/ Peanuts for details.
Be a friend to patients in need. Book a time to give by visiting RedCross-Blood.org, downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, or calling 1800-RED CROSS.
