Race to help save lives with the Red Cross by giving blood
Come give April 29-May 19 for free haircut coupon by email, chance at VIP racing experience
COLUMBIA, MO (April 24, 2024) — As May approaches, the American Red Cross reminds
eligible donors to keep the blood supply stable by racing to give blood or platelets in the
weeks to come. Donors of all blood types – especially type O blood donors and those giving
platelets – are crucial to keeping shelves fully stocked with blood products throughout the
month.
Right now, there’s no letting off the gas when it comes to lifesaving care. With no substitute for
blood and no way to manufacture it, volunteer donors are essential for hospital patients who
count on transfusions every single day.
Book a time to give lifesaving blood or platelets now by visiting RedCrossBlood.org,
calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App. Thanks to Sport
Clips Haircuts, all who come to donate April 29-May 31 will get a coupon for a free haircut by
email. Plus, those who come to give April 29-May 19 will be automatically entered for a chance
to win a trip for two and VIP racing experience to the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity
Races at Darlington Raceway Labor Day weekend, including entry to the Sport Clips racetrack
hospitality tent and a $1,000 gift card. Additionally, those who come to give April 29-May 19 will
also get a bonus $10 e-gift card to a merchant of choice. Visit RedCrossBlood.org/racetogive for
more details.
