HUTCHINSON, Kan. — As fall approaches, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to help end the ongoing critical need for blood and kick off the season with a donation. The Red Cross needs donors of all blood types to give now and help ensure lifesaving transfusions are on the sidelines for those who rely on them.
Several blood drives are going on across the area in the coming weeks. In Hutchinson, a drive is scheduled for Sept. 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Legend of Hutchinson at 2416 Brentwood. In Rice County, blood drives will be held Sept 8 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Sterling College and in Lyons on Sept. 10 from 12 p.m. until 6 p.m. at the Faith Bible Church.
Those who come to give blood or platelets through Sept. 30 will receive a coupon for a free haircut via email several days after their donation. The coupon is valid through Nov. 30, at participating Sport Clips locations. Donors must have a valid email address on record to receive the coupon.
The Red Cross and Sport Clips encourage donors to use the hashtag #TackleTheNeed to share their new looks and invite others to give.
