The Red Cross Blood and Platelet Donation Center in Plano, Texas, invites blood donors to celebrate its third anniversary. Presenting donors and blood center staff can enjoy a cookout with food, drinks and more.  

The Red Cross collects 40% of the nation’s blood supply, and every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Fixed-site blood and platelet donation centers like the Irving location help ensure new moms, premature babies, cancer patients and accident victims have access to safe, lifesaving blood.
