Receive a Free Pint of Culver's Frozen Custard and a Long Sleeve Red Cross T-Shirt

The American Red Cross is proud to partner with Culver’s to help boost the blood supply during the holidays when many donors travel to be with family and are busy with holiday activities. At the blood drives listed below, each presenting donor will receive a coupon for a free pint of Culver’s Frozen Custard and a Red Cross long sleeve T-Shirt (while supplies last)

The Culver’s December Blood Drive comes at a crucial time of year for patients who need blood at the 108 hospitals served by the Red Cross in Minnesota, western Wisconsin and eastern South Dakota, as well as patients across the country.

“By rolling up a sleeve and donating, donors have the opportunity to discover the true meaning of giving this holiday season,” said Geoff Kaufmann, CEO of the Red Cross North Central Blood Services Region. “Donors are giving hospital patients the chance to spend more holiday seasons with loved ones.”

Culver’s Holiday Blood Drives:

Friday, December 26th - Culver’s Apple Valley - 11:00am to 5:00pm

Saturday, December 27th - Culver’s Eagan - 10:00am to 4:00pm

Tuesday, December 30th - Culver’s Lakeville - 11:00am to 5:00pm

Blood donors with all blood types are needed, particularly O negative, A negative and B negative donors are urged to make a donation appointment this holiday season. Rh negative blood types are always in high demand because they can be transfused to both Rh positive and Rh negative patients. Type O negative is the universal blood supply and can be transfused to patients with any blood type.
