INDIANA, June 9, 2025 — Atlantic hurricane season began this month. Disasters like hurricanes
and severe summer weather can disrupt blood drives for several days and impact the momentum
of a growing blood supply. Help the American Red Cross plan for the unexpected by making an
appointment to give blood.
Even when hospitals are fully stocked with blood products, sudden events can cause a rapid drop in the
availability of lifesaving transfusions. While many may be engaging in outdoor adventures this month, the
Red Cross asks people to continue making and keeping donation appointments a part of their June plans.
Blood has a shelf life of 42 days, which means ongoing donations are key to ensure medical needs are
met. Type O blood donors are especially needed as the summer season continues.
June 14 is World Blood Donor Day, and June 19 is World Sickle Cell Day. Join the Red Cross in
celebrating the spirit of humanity by giving blood. Visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED
CROSS or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App to book a time to donate. Those who come to give
June 1-30, 2025, will get a $15 Amazon.com Gift Card by email and will be automatically entered for a
chance to win one of two $7,000 gift cards. Terms apply. Visit RedCrossBlood.org/June.

Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law),
