The American Red Cross Indiana Region invites you to roll up your sleeve and make a lifesaving blood donation at the annual Statehouse Day Blood Drive. Donors can give blood alongside members of the Indiana State Legislature as the House of Representatives and Senate compete to see who can donate the most blood.

“As the nation continues to experience a critical need for blood products, the American Red Cross urges members of the community to come out to donate to help us rebuild the blood supply. Generous blood donors are vital to ensuring those in need of transfusions have access to lifesaving care,” said Terry Stigdon, chief executive officer, American Red Cross Indiana Region. “We are encouraged to see the strong support from our state legislators as we work to address the shortage.”

New Blood Donor Rewards program
Since announcing an emergency blood shortage earlier this month, thousands of donors across the country have answered the call to help. In appreciation for all those who take the time to help save lives, the Red Cross is pleased to launch an all-new Blood Donor Rewards program. This program offers a new way for the Red Cross to say thank you for the generous donations that are critical to patients counting on lifesaving care. All donors will now earn points for their donations that accumulate each time they roll up a sleeve to give. Donors automatically started earning points on Jan. 1, 2024, and they can redeem points any time of year to receive e-gift cards or save them to redeem and claim an exclusive Red Cross merchandise item in the next calendar year. For more information, visit RedCrossBlood.org/Rewards.
