Solve the Puzzle. Help Save a Life: Give Blood or Platelets with Red Cross

The American Red Cross asks donors to go for a spin and help save lives by giving blood or platelets in November. The last two months of the year can be a challenge for many donors trying to juggle regular donation appointments with packed schedules full of seasonal activities and holiday planning. Donors of all blood types ─ especially those with type O blood ─ are urged to make an appointment to donate now. The Red Cross and Wheel of Fortune are teaming up to give back to donors this Thanksgiving. Those who come to give blood or platelets between Nov. 23 and Dec. 6 will receive an exclusive Red Cross x Wheel of Fortune oversized mug, while supplies last. Additionally, all who come to give Nov. 23-Dec. 6 will automatically be entered for a chance to win a three-night trip for two to Los Angeles with entry to a Wheel of Fortune taping. Full details can be found at RedCrossBlood.org/WheelofFortune . Every spin counts. Every drop matters. Reserve your spot to give blood or platelets by visiting RedCrossBlood.org , downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App , or calling 1-800-RED CROSS. The Red Cross urges donors not to wait to make a lifesaving difference ─ share your good health this holiday season by donating blood for patients in need. In November during National Diabetes Awareness Month, successful donations will get free A1C testing (one result per calendar year; do not fast before donating).
