Rotary Club hosts blood drive with special PEANUTS® promotion

BEDFORD — The Bedford Rotary Club and the American Red Cross are teaming up to host a blood drive on Tuesday, September 9th, from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The event will be held in the Community Room of the Central Church of Christ Education Center, located at 1321 12th Street.

The drive aims to help meet the critical need for blood, as someone in the U.S. requires a blood transfusion every two seconds. Donating is a simple yet powerful way to save lives in the community.

In celebration of the 75th anniversary of PEANUTS®, all donors will receive an exclusive American Red Cross x PEANUTS mystery bag, which contains one of four special T-shirt designs, while supplies last. Donors who find a golden ticket in their mystery bag can redeem it for all four T-shirts.

Community members are encouraged to schedule an appointment in advance. To do so, please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit RedCrossBlood.org and use the sponsor code ROTARYBEDFORD.
