The need for blood never takes a break, not even for a pandemic, and the American Red Cross is hoping that a few incentives will help keep the flow going in April. Those who donate blood or platelets between April 1st and 15th will automatically be entered to win a VIP trip for four to the 2022 Indianapolis 500, plus all donors during the next month will be automatically entered into a drawing for one of five $1,000 e-gift cards to a merchant of choice.
All blood donations are still being tested for valuable COVID-19 antibodies which can be used to help victims recover, and those who test positive will be notified, however it’s not a diagnostic test and may take weeks for results to be known.
The next opportunity to donate – and the last before incentives kick in, will be at the Sheboygan Trades and Labor Hall at 11th and Wisconsin where blood is collected every Friday.
More opportunities and details on the drawings can be found at RedCrossBlood.org.
