All presenting donors will receive a Nashville Predators Foam puck and two pre-season tickets to a Predators Home Game
NASHVILLE,
Tenn., Aug. 4, 2022 — The American Red Cross continues the
great partnership with the Nashville Predators Foundation to host a multi-city
blood drive Aug. 15- Aug. 19.
“The Red Cross is facing an ongoing drop in the blood
supply this summer and we are asking donors to book appointments now to give
blood or platelets and help prevent a blood shortage,” said Clif Redish,
interim regional donor services executive with the Red Cross Tennessee Valley
Blood Services Region. “When a blood shortage occurs, a patient may not have
immediate access to the transfusions they count on. By donating in August,
blood products can be ready to grab off the shelves for those in need of
lifesaving care in the coming weeks.”
“Our partnership with the Nashville Predators makes such
an impact in our communities to meet the need for blood in our region for patients
in our hospitals.” Eighty percent of blood donated to the Red Cross is acquired
from blood donations made at blood drives. The organization supplies 40 percent
of blood across the nation.
All presenting donors will receive a Predators foam hockey
puck, while supplies last. Donors will also receive two pre-season home game
tickets as our thanks for coming to give at the Preds blood drives. All
presenting donors will be automatically entered into a drawing to win an
official American Red Cross logo puck signed by a current Nashville Predators
player from each blood drive location. “Donors will also receive a $10 e-gift
card to a merchant of choice,” Redish added. “Plus, we will automatically enter
all donors for a chance to win gas for a year.”

Blood
drive safety
The Red Cross follows a high standard of safety and
infection control. The Red Cross will continue to socially distance wherever
possible at blood drives, donation centers and facilities. While donors no
longer have to wear a face mask, individuals may choose to continue to wear a
mask for any reason. The Red Cross will also adhere to more stringent face mask
requirements per state and/or local guidance, or at the request of blood drive
sponsors. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at a
drive.
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.
