— Late May signals the beginning of a busy time for celebrations and
summer holidays. The American Red Cross asks donors to make an appointment to give blood or
platelets now before calendars start to fill up. Donors of all blood types – especially those giving type
O blood and donors giving platelets – are vital to people counting on blood products for critical medical
procedures.
Every single donation can help keep the blood supply as stable as possible during a busy time of year
when many regular donors may be unable to give. Book a time to give now by visiting
RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
The Red Cross has teamed up with Tetris, creators of the iconic, best-selling video game, to celebrate
their 40th anniversary and build the blood supply for patients in need. In commemoration, all who come to
give May 20-June 9, 2024, will get an exclusive Tetris ® + Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last, plus be
automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for two to New York to meet Tetris creator, Alexey Pajitnov.
See RedCrossBlood.org/Tetris for details.

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.
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.
