Clackamas Town Center

“Shoppers will have an opportunity for some big savings in the way of lives with their blood donation,” says Angel Montes, Regional Executive, American Red Cross. “A single donation can help save more than one life.”

Unfortunately, the American Red Cross often sees blood supplies dwindle during summer months as people head out of town. “When schools let out and families set off on vacation, we typically see a decline in donors, often leading to a seasonal blood shortage,” Montes says.

Visit RedCrossBlood.org then enter the sponsor code above for the mall of your choice and make your appointment today.

The mall to collect the most blood donations will receive a trophy and bragging rights.
