WHERE: Sunrise Presbyterian Church
805 E Beloit Ave.
WHEN: June 28 and 29, 12–6:30 p.m.
June 30, 8 a.m.–2 p.m.
There has been a concerning shortfall in blood donations in recent weeks, and the upcoming holiday could put a further strain on donations, as millions celebrate with family vacations and other seasonal activities. Donors of all blood types – especially those with type B negative or O negative blood – are needed to make an appointment to give now to ensure blood remains available for patients this summer.
All who come to give blood, platelets or plasma through June 30 will receive a $10 gift card by email to a merchant of their choice. Those who come to give in June will also be automatically entered for a chance to win a backyard theater package. Details for this offer are at RedCrossBlood.org/June.
To schedule an appointment to donate, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Thanks to our partners at Eagle Media, Salina Post, 99KG #1 For New Country, KINA Radio 910 AM & 107.5FM, and Prime FM!
