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.

  • FOR DRIVES OCT. 1-20: Those who come to give Oct. 1-20 will receive a $15 Amazon.com Gift Card by email. See www.RedCrossBlood.org/Together for details.
  • FOR DRIVES OCT. 21-NOV. 9: All who come to give Oct. 21-Nov. 9 will get a $10 e-gift card to a restaurant merchant of their choice.
