American Red Cross plans blood drive at Marian University

These donors must meet specific eligibility requirements and have type A Neg, B Neg, or O blood.

The Red Cross says anyone donating blood between the dates of 6/1 through the 28th will receive a $15 e-gift card, and be entered for a chance to win one of two $7.5K gift card.

Reservations for the Marian drive are appreciated, but walk-ins are welcome.
