Blood donations are critically important. There is an immediate need for donors. The Red Cross collected over 26,000 fewer blood donations than needed in May to meet the needs of patients, according to their website.
Those who donate in June will receive a $10 gift card via email to a merchant of their choice and be entered for a chance to win a backyard theater package, including a laser wireless projector and screen, projector tripod, smokeless fire pit, Adirondack chair set with four chairs and two tables and a movie night snack package.
