“The everyday heroes are those who donate blood, volunteer, take a lifesaving class, host a blood drive or make a financial contribution to help neighbors here in their community and across the nation,” said Colin Riccobon, External Communications Manager of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Blood Services Region. “We thank and honor these everyday heroes who support the Red Cross.”
People can become everyday heroes by hosting a SleevesUp virtual blood drive or creating a team via the Blood Donor App. The Blood Donor App allows individuals to find a local blood or platelet donation opportunity, schedule appointments and track their donation history. Plus, it lets users create teams and recruit friends and family to roll up a sleeve with them. The Blood Donor App is available for download by texting BLOODAPP to 90999 or by visiting redcrossblood.org/BloodApp
