Red Cross Sets October Blood Drive Dates

Article Presented By Rathkamp Financial

(Red Cross Release) – While we settle back into fall routines, donors are asked to book a time to give blood or platelets before busy fall schedules and holiday celebrations ramp up. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Donors are needed to help ensure blood and platelets are on the shelves for cancer patients and others who rely on transfusions for care. Those who come to give Oct. 1-31 will receive a $5 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice, see rcblood.org/boo. ALSO, all donors in the month of October will be entered to win 2 OSU vs Indiana football game tickets for Nov 12^th.
