While some people are grilling and setting off fireworks, others are taking a moment to roll up their sleeves to donate to the American Red Cross at the 17th annual Red, White & You Blood Drive.
Blood donations tend to drop in the summer as people travel for vacations and students leave school campuses that host large blood drives. Every single donation can help keep the blood supply as stable as possible during a busy time of year when many regular donors may be unable to give.
All presenting donors will receive an exclusive Red, White & You Red Cross t-shirt and a ticket to the Sedgwick County Zoo while supplies last. All donors will also be entered into a drawing for $100 Visa gift card, drawn three times each day of the drive. Make an appointment for this drive by searching RWYKS on www.RedCrossBlood.org or the Blood Donor app or by calling 1-800-REDCROSS.
