Cedar Fair Theme Parks Join Red Cross to Help Build Blood Supply: Indianapolis Blood Drives
Give blood or platelets now with the Red Cross
Give blood or platelets now with the Red Cross
The American Red Cross and Cedar Fair theme parks are teaming up this summer to encourage the community to give blood. Those who come out to donate blood or platelets at select blood drives will receive a free Cedar Fair Park ticket in thanks for helping save lives.
Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. The Red Cross provides about 40% of our nation’s blood and blood components, all from generous volunteer donors. Donors of all blood types – especially those giving type O blood and donors giving platelets – are vital to people counting on blood products for critical medical procedures.
All those who come to donate at select blood drives will receive one free ticket, valid for entry to participating U.S. Cedar Fair parks, while supplies last. Restrictions may apply. Check individual park websites for information on capacity, open dates, and hours. Participating parks are listed below.
Book a time to give now by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
