WQIO Ohio's Super Station
March 16, 2023 — Spring is near! As the seasons change, the American Red Cross is reminding the
public that the need for blood doesn’t take a break. Blood and platelets remain at risk of running low
this month. Donors are crucial to helping the Red Cross avoid a blood shortage in the weeks to
come.
Donors of all blood types, especially type O donors and platelet donors, are encouraged to make and
keep appointments to donate. Book a time to give by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, downloading the
Red Cross Blood Donor App, or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
When donors lend an arm this month, the Red Cross will lend a hand. All who come to give blood,
platelets or plasma March 1-31, 2023, will receive a $10 Visa ® Prepaid Card by email. Plus, they’ll be
automatically entered for a chance to win a $3,000 Visa Prepaid Card – which could help toward
expenses like gas or groceries. There will be five lucky winners. Details are available at rcblood.org/help.

How to donate blood
Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED
CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device to make an
appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A
blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.
Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law),
weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school
students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight
requirements.
Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass ® to complete their pre-
donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at
the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood
Donor App.
