Red Cross Blood Drive at Costick Center on June 15
Be a Part of the Lifesaving Cause & Enter a Gas Gift Card Raffle
The American Red Cross will sponsor a blood drive on Wednesday, June 15, 2022, from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. at the Costick Center, located at 28600 W. Eleven Mile Road between Middlebelt and Inkster in Farmington Hills.
Community members are encouraged to Be a Part of the Lifesaving Cause and answer the critical need for blood and blood products. Blood donations are used at area hospitals for emergency and trauma care, surgeries, and treatment of serious diseases.
All attempting donors will be entered in a $25 Gas Gift Card Raffle where four lucky winners will be drawn. There will also be a t-shirt giveaway, while supplies last.
In alignment with CDC guidance, the American Red Cross has updated its pandemic safety protocols:
• Face masks are no longer required at blood drives.
• Social distancing will continue wherever possible.
• Mask requests from donors will be accommodated where close interaction occurs.
• Individuals may choose to wear a mask and masks will be available for those in attendance.
To donate blood on June 15, go to www.redcrossblood.org and register online. Enter the sponsor code costickcenter and follow the instructions to set up an appointment.
Giving blood takes approximately one hour, but your patience is appreciated if the event is short staffed. Donors must be in general good health, weigh at least 115 pounds, and be 17 years of age or older. If a parent is present to fill out a permission form on the day of the blood drive, 16-year-olds will be allowed to donate blood.
