Long-sleeved T-shirt for donors through Jan. 5
LA CROSSE, Wis., Dec. 20, 2023 — When blood products are fully stocked on hospital shelves, patients
don’t have to wait for critical care. Giving blood or platelets with the American Red Cross in December
can help those in need make more holiday memories with loved ones.
This is a busy time for many. Holiday gatherings, travel and seasonal illnesses can all impact donor
availability, making it hard to collect enough blood and platelet Unfortunately, trauma patients in the
emergency room, those undergoing cancer treatment and new parents in need of lifesaving transfusions
can’t take a holiday break. Donors are needed every single day.
Those who come to give blood, platelets or AB Elite plasma Dec. 18, 2023-Jan. 5, 2024, will receive an
exclusive Red Cross long-sleeved T-shirt, while supplies last. To extend a special thank-you to donors for
helping address the need for blood, platelets and plasma during the critical post-holiday time, those who
come to give Jan. 1-31, 2024, National Blood Donor Month, will be automatically entered for a chance to
win a trip for two to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
