As we turn the page on a new year, the American Red Cross urges donors to make an appointment to give lifesaving blood or platelets now to help keep the blood supply strong during National Blood Donor Month in January.

As a special thank-you to donors for helping address the need for blood during the critical post-holiday time, those who come to give Jan. 1-26, 2025, will be automatically entered for a chance to win an exciting Super Bowl LIX giveaway. For full details, check out the below news release and visit RedCrossBlood.org/SuperBowl.
