TUCSON, AZ — KGUN 9 On Your Side and the American Red Cross are asking for your help to make our Black Friday blood drive a success, by donating a pint of blood on November 26, 2021, between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
We know you’re busy this time of year, and so are those who regularly donate blood and platelets. In fact, many delay giving during the busy holiday season – but the need for blood doesn’t take a break.
That’s why the American Red Cross needs your help now.
REGISTER TODAY then join us at Park Place Mall, 5850 E. Broadway, Tucson, AZ 85711 [MAP] to give the gift of life this holiday season.
Walk-ups are welcome, but pre-registration is preferred and by registering in advance, you can be in and out in a jiffy and back to your day!
