'Saving Lives Never Looked So Good!' Campaign to Encourage September Donations

The American Red Cross and Sport Clips Haircuts have teamed up to offer a free haircut coupon to those who come out to donate blood or platelets during September.

Those who present to give blood or platelets any time in September will receive a coupon for a free haircut via email a few days after their donation. The coupon is valid through Nov. 8, 2015, and donors must have a valid email address on record to receive the coupon.

Donors of all blood types – especially types O negative, A negative and B negative – and platelet donors are urged to give. To make an appointment to donate, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org/sport-clips or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
