While nearly two-thirds of Americans could donate blood if they wanted to, only around 3 in 100 actually do – and that’s a problem. Because saving lives requires more than that.
The demand for blood is highest at this time of year, and the Red Cross is asking you to roll up your sleeves and donate now to avoid a shortage.
To reward those who donate from now until August 31st, the Red Cross will be offering $10 e-gift cards to a place of the donor’s choosing. Donors will also be eligible for the opportunity to win one of three rewards for free gas for a year.
Collections are being held every Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Sheboygan Trades and Labor Hall at 1104 Wisconsin Ave, as well as one in Plymouth on Wednesday August 24 at the Ladewig Zinkgraf American Legion Post 243 at 40 S. Stafford Street from noon until 5 p.m.
There are some terms and conditions on those rewards, so for more info you can head to rcblood.org/fuel
