The start of a new year is the perfect time to make a resolution to become a regular blood or platelet donor in 2024. January is National Blood Donor Month! The Red Cross observes this as a time to celebrate our generous volunteer donors and to encourage others to join our lifesaving mission.

In addition, all donors who come to give December 18th-January 5th will get a long-sleeved Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last.

All who come to give January 1st-31st will automatically be entered for a chance to win an exciting trip for two to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas! Includes travel, hotel, $1,000 gift card, pre-game activities and more! Terms apply; visit RedCrossBlood.org/SuperBowl.
