(Pittsburgh, PA) The American Red Cross of Greater Pennsylvania is urging Pennsylvanians to give either blood or platelets this April as the rates of travel increase. People who give this April will join a drawing and have a chance to win $5,000. A $15 Amazon gift card through email will be given to those who give between April 1-13. A Red Cross T-Shirt will also be given to those who donate between April 14-30. The website to donate is RedCrossBlood.org. You can also donate on the Donor App for the American Red Cross or by contacting 1-800-RED-CROSS(1-800-733-2767). Alexa Echo devices can also make appointments by patients activating the Blood Donor Skill.
