Donor Highlight: This week Mark Loosi hit 112 pints of blood donated, that's more than 14 gallons! He donated in Draper at a blood drive this week with the help of our wonderful phlebotomist Cheyenne. Mark said, "You know, our family never had a major medical trauma, but that's really why I started donating. I wanted to serve my community members and help out where I can. And this is such an easy way to save a life!" Thank you Mark for your dedication; we'll see you at your next donation! Schedule your donation today at redcrossblood.org.

Regional CEO Heidi Ruster sat down with ABC4 Utah - Utah's CW30 (KTVX/KUCW) Sarah Murphy to talk about the emergency blood shortage impacting the country. We saw a staggering decrease of 25% in July, that's over 19,000 donations. The blood coming in is not keeping pace with hospitals' demand for blood. We need your help! Donors can easily book an appointment through the Red Cross Blood Donor App, by visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). As a token of appreciation, all donors visiting between Aug. 1-31, 2024, will receive a $20 Amazon.com Gift Card via email. https://lnkd.in/gcdqUmba
