During National Wellness Month, the American Red Cross
encourages people to prioritize their personal health and well-being while helping to save lives
with a blood or platelet donation. Donors of all blood types – especially those with type O
positive or B negative blood – are asked to make an appointment now to prevent a
further drop in donor turnout.
In August, the Red Cross will provide free A1C screening – a test commonly used to screen for
prediabetes and diabetes – for all donors who make a successful blood, platelet or plasma
donation. Fasting is not required for this test, and donors will be able to view their confidential
results one to two weeks after their donation in the Blood Donor App or their donor account at
RedCrossBlood.org. Donors will receive one A1C test result in a 12-month period.
August also brings changes in routines. Back-to-school plans, the start of fall sports and final
summer vacations may be top of mind right now, but patients can’t wait. Making and keeping
donation appointments can be the difference in a patient’s treatment journey.
Help save lives and empower your health! Schedule a time to give now by visiting
RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor
App. Those who come to give Aug. 1-28, 2025, will receive a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of
choice. For details on both offers, visit RedCrossBlood.org/Test.

How to donate blood 
Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-
800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device
to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable
supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are
required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental
consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good
health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age
and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. 
 

2025-APL-0445
Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass ® to complete
their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online on the day of their donation,
before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at
RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App. 
Amplify your impact − volunteer! 
Another way to support the lifesaving mission of the Red Cross is to become a volunteer blood
donor ambassador at Red Cross blood drives. Blood donor ambassadors help greet, check in
and thank blood donors to ensure they have a positive donation experience. 
 
Volunteers can also serve as transportation specialists, playing a vital role in ensuring lifesaving
blood products are delivered to nearby hospitals. For more information and to apply for either
position, visit redcross.org/volunteertoday.
