LA CROSSE, Wis. (March 16, 2023) — Spring is near! As the seasons change, the American Red Cross
is reminding the public that the need for blood doesn’t take a break. Blood and platelets remain at risk
of running low this month. Donors are crucial to helping the Red Cross avoid a blood shortage in
the weeks to come.
Donors of all blood types, especially type O donors and platelet donors, are encouraged to make and
keep appointments to donate. Book a time to give by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, downloading the
Red Cross Blood Donor App, or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
When donors lend an arm this month, the Red Cross will lend a hand. All who come to give blood,
platelets or plasma March 1-31, 2023, will receive a $10 Visa ® Prepaid Card by email. Plus, they’ll be
automatically entered for a chance to win a $3,000 Visa Prepaid Card – which could help toward
expenses like gas or groceries. There will be five lucky winners. Details are available at rcblood.org/help.
