“Part of our corporate DNA is to give back to the communities that we serve,” said Tony Mahon managing director of AssuredPartners. “Our entire AssuredPartners Team looks forward every year to working with the great people at the American Red Cross to help those in need.”
The Red Cross currently has a critical shortage of type O blood. Right now, type O blood is being distributed to hospitals faster than donations are coming in. Type O donors ─ and donors of all types ─ are urged to give now to help ensure blood is on the shelves for patients when every second matters.
How to donate blood
Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information.
