Someone close to you thinks that you’re a hero, and is asking you to donate blood.
Now, more than ever, the American Red Cross
needs your help.
Blood donors who are Black are urgently needed to help patients with sickle cell disease. The disease is the most common genetic disorder in the U.S., and most people with the disease are Black or of African descent. The most compatible match for these patients is often from a donor of the same race or similar ethnicity. You can answer the call to help.
- When you come to give your first blood donation with the Red Cross you’ll get a $20 Amazon.com Gift Card* via email, thanks to Amazon.**
- Plus, thanks to Amazon, we’ll also send your friend who referred you a $20 Amazon.com Gift Card* via email as a thank you for the introduction.**
One blood donation can save more than one life! And when you come to give you’ll also receive a free health screening where we check your blood pressure, hemoglobin (iron) levels, temperature, and pulse rate. You’ll get all the results.
You’ve got the message – your help is needed now to support the Black community. Now, you just need to complete the form on this page to sign up to join the program and then schedule your appointment online. We can’t do this without you.
