Car accidents.

Cancer treatments.

Emergency surgeries.

These things don’t stop for the holidays. Neither does the need for blood. The American Red Cross urgently needs blood donors to give now to help ensure blood remains available this holiday season for vital medical treatments and unforeseen emergencies.

Attached is more information about the current urgent need, a T-shirt the Red Cross is offering those who come to give Dec. 20 through Jan. 6 and upcoming blood drives in the area. Please let me know if you have any questions, would like to set up an interview or need additional information.

Thanks in advance for your support!
