Donate Blood, Get A Gift Card Or T-Shirt In Rancho Santa Margarita

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA — Are you looking to donate blood in Rancho Santa Margarita? The American Red Cross announced new incentives for residents who give the gift of blood in Orange County.

"The American Red Cross urges donors to give blood or platelets now to continue to strengthen the national blood supply," an American Red Cross news release read. "People of all blood types — especially those with type O blood — are critical to ensuring hospitals can meet the daily demand for lifesaving transfusions."

To encourage potential blood donors to make appointments, the Red Cross is teaming up with Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures to celebrate the new film "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire." When donors give blood between March 25 and April 7, they'll receive an exclusive "Godzilla x Kong" T-shirt while supplies last.

Additionally, all who come to give April 8-28 will get a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of choice, plus be automatically entered for a chance to win one of two $7,000 gift cards.
