Now through June 16th, the public is encouraged to make an appointment to donate blood to benefit the life saving efforts of the American Red Cross. All police, fire, paramedics and other safety service workers are invited to encourage their communities to donate in the name of East or West in a friendly competition that supports the entire county.
“During the Spring and Summer months blood donations tend to decline, however the need does not,” explained Sheriff George T. Maier. “We are encouraging everyone to join us for a friendly competition for a great cause that allows us all to walk away as winners.”
Community members can make an appointment by visiting www.redcrossblood.org and entering code ‘sheriff’ in the ‘find a blood drive’ search. Then, donors can schedule an appointment for June 16th at either the Stark County Sheriff’s Office, 4500 Atlantic Blvd. NE, Canton to benefit the East side or the Stark County Sheriff’s Office Training Center, 143 1st Street SE, Massillon to benefit the West side. Appointment availability is limited. The American Red Cross will also have a raffle basket giveaway at each location.
Join us in a little friendly competition to benefit a great cause!
