The American Red Cross in partnership with Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Indians and Cleveland Clinic, are urging those who are healthy and feeling well to give blood to maintain a stable blood supply for patients who rely on lifesaving transfusions, especially throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
To date, at eight blood drives held at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse since March, 550 pints of blood were collected to help save up to 1,650 lives.
The Red Cross strongly encourages donors to schedule an appointment before showing up to donate in order to manage the flow of donors appropriately in alignment with social distancing protocols but will also work to accommodate walk-ins throughout the day.
