 More than a quarter of all blood products each year are used in critical care and emergency room cases, highlighting the importance of generous blood and platelet donors. You're asked to book a time to give blood by visiting redcrossblood.org, calling 1-800-RED-CROSS, or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor app. Now, besides other giveaways for those who donate, when you donate during July, you'll automatically be entered for a chance to win a 2025 Ram 1500 Bighorn truck.
