Red Cross blood donation opportunities March 16-31

Help neighbors through the Red Cross and become an everyday hero ST. LOUIS (March 2, 2015) — The American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors to become everyday heroes by giving blood in celebration of Red Cross Month this March. Since 1943, every president has designated March as Red Cross Month – a time to recognize those who support the Red Cross. Local communities depend on the Red Cross, which relies on donations of time, money and blood to fulfill its humanitarian mission. It doesn’t take a cape or superpowers to be a hero. By donating blood, eligible donors can help save the lives of patients in need. Those who are unable to give blood can support blood donations by organizing a blood drive, volunteering to assist with Red Cross activities, or creating a SleevesUp virtual blood drive online at redcrossblood.org/SleevesUp - http://www.redcrossblood.org/sleevesup and asking others to make a lifesaving donation. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org - http://www.redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
