A blood drive is scheduled for Tuesday, April 21^st when the Red Cross visits the College of St. Joseph Gym in Rutland, VT. Donor hours will be from 12 – 6 pm and anyone who is at least 17 years old and weighs at least 110 lbs. may be eligible to donate.

For the Month of April, All presenting donors can enter to win a pair of tickets to see the Boston Red Sox (Includes overnight accommodations and gas card).

Blood is used for patients undergoing many surgical procedures, organ transplants, trauma and chemotherapy. For some patients, such as the victim of an automobile accident, the need for blood is sudden. For others, ongoing transfusions are needed to sustain medical treatment.

The American Red Cross holds blood drives in communities seven days a week. Please call 1-800-843-3500 or visit www.newenglandblood.org to find a blood drive near you to donate during Red Cross month. It’s a pint of blood for you, but for another it could be a life saved.
