The American Red Cross is asking for you to step forward and donate blood in the weeks surrounding Independence Day to help make sure there is plenty of blood supply for patients now and throughout the summer.
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood or platelets. For extra encouragement to donate, those who donate July 1-5 will get a limited-edition Red Cross lunch cooler. Call your local blood drive to schedule your appointment or visit www.redcrossblood.org.
