Red Cross Donors in For Sweet Surprise

American Red Cross Donors

Set for Sweet Surprise this August

Edible Arrangements Giveaway Joins “Pint for Pint” Promotion

The satisfaction American Red Cross donors get from giving blood will be twice as sweet during the month of August – thanks in part to a donation from Edible Arrangements®.

In August, all presenting whole blood and double red cell donors at any Red Cross blood donation center or mobile blood drive will receive a coupon* for six free pieces of chocolate-dipped fruit from Edible Arrangements®.  This special “thank you” comes at a time when blood donations tend to drop due to hot weather, school vacations and holiday travel.

As a bonus for donors, the Edible Arrangements® giveaway is being held at the same time as the popular “Pint for Pint” promotion.  “Pint for Pint”, which also runs through the month of August, allows all presenting whole blood and double red cell donors at any Northern California Region blood donation center or mobile blood drive to receive a coupon* for a free pint of Baskin-Robbins® ice cream.

So … that’s two coupons for delicious treats to all presenting whole blood and double red cell donors during the month of August.  The coupons can be redeemed at any Edible Arrangements® or Baskin-Robbins®store locations.

Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), meet height and weight requirements (at least 110 pounds based on height) and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.  Donors can call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to schedule an appointment.
