The American Red Cross continues to experience a severe blood shortage and donors of all blood types – especially type O and those giving platelets – are urged to make an appointment to give now.
To thank donors who give blood through July 31, the Red Cross is offering a $10 Amazon.com Gift Card via email. They will also be entered to win gas for a year (a $5,000 value) or a trip for four to Cedar Point or Knott’s Berry Farm.
Here is a list of regional donation events. The Red Cross doesn’t have any planned in Laguna Beach this month:
