Red Cross urges immediate blood and platelet donations amid summer challenges

INDIANA — The American Red Cross urges all donors to give blood or platelets now
to keep the blood supply strong this summer. Type O blood products are most needed on hospital
shelves – especially in the face of summer challenges that can quickly cause blood and platelet reserves
to drop.

In addition to summer fun and holidays, severe summer weather can have a sudden impact on the ability
to collect blood and platelets. Scheduling and keeping donation appointments are crucial this month to
ensure blood products are constantly available in the weeks to come for all patients, including those in
trauma situations that may require several lifesaving transfusions.

All blood types are needed, and donors who don’t know their blood type can learn it after
donation. Book a time to give blood or platelets by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED
CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.

As a thank-you, all who come to give by July 14, 2025, will receive an exclusive pair of Red Cross x goodr
sunglasses, while supplies last. Donors can personalize their one-of-a-kind shades with a blood type
sticker that’s included! For details, visit RedCrossBlood.org/goodr.

For those who come to give July 15-31, 2025, the Red Cross will say thanks with a Fandango Movie
Reward by email. Use it to catch a summer blockbuster on the Red Cross! See RedCrossBlood.org/July.
