Quicksie and Wolf go head-to-head in Red Cross blood drive Wednesday

American Red Cross Account Manager Tammy Ritchie says the need for blood donations remains high.

“The need for Type O, O-positive and O-negative, is in an emergency need right now,” said Ritchie. “Transfusions are happening when needed, but because that is the most common blood type, it is also the most needed, and in an emergency situation, that is what’s going to be transfused until we know that patient’s blood type.”

You can contribute to the cause and take part in a friendly rivalry this Wednesday during the Quicksie Versus Wolf Blood Drive, to be held at the Pritchard Community Center from noon until 5 p.m.

When you come in to donate, let the Red Cross know which of the two stations you wish to support. As an added incentive, all donors from September 22 through October 19 will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card.
