Shark Week Blood Drive
Calling all Shark Week fin-atics: The American Red Cross and the Living Coast Discovery Center invite community members to dive in and help save lives at an exciting blood donation opportunity on Sunday, July 16, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, at the Living Coast Discovery Center
Sharks are vitally important to the health of the planet – just like blood donors play an equally important role in helping keep the national blood supply healthy and strong. The need for blood products doesn’t take a summer break.
All presenting donors will receive an exclusive Shark Week shirt from Discovery, while supplies last, plus free admission to the Living Coast Discovery Center (blood drive appointment required).* In addition, all those who come to give blood will be automatically entered to win a three-night New York getaway for two with a private shark dive adventure at Long Island Aquarium.**
HOW TO DONATE
Download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) and use sponsor code LIVINGCOAST to make your appointment to donate. 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.
*Free admission to the Living Coast Discovery Center is for presenting blood donors only. Paid admission is required for guests of blood donors who are not donating blood.
