Give Blood + You Could Win a Trip to Hawaii

Thanksgiving and the holidays are quickly approaching and the blood donor shortage continues, as does the need. The American Red Cross urges donors to continue to make and keep appointments now and in the weeks ahead to help overcome the ongoing emergency blood shortage that has significantly impacted the nation’s blood supply.

In fact, the current blood supply is the lowest the Red Cross has seen this time of year in more than a decade. At least 10,000 more donations are needed each week in the coming weeks to meet patient needs, ahead of the upcoming holiday season.

Schedule an appointment by going to RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

As a thank you, you could be heading to Hawaii. In honor of the new Amazon Prime series, I Know What You Did Last Summer, those who donate from Nov. 1-12 will automatically be entered to win a trip for two to Hawaii. The trip will transport you to where the series was filmed and includes round-trip airfare
for two, hotel accommodations for nine nights, meals, $1,000 gift card for expenses and on-trip transportation with tour stops from Honolulu to Maui. Plus, those who come to donate Nov. 1-23 will receive a $10 Amazon Gift Card.
