As a thank-you for helping, all who come to give through Aug. 31 will be entered to win gas for a year and will also receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of choice.

Donation appointments may be made by downloading the free Blood Donor app, visitingRedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-733-2767. Power Reds are available.
