Bangor State Fair Tix, Red Sox T-Shirt Available to Blood Donors


3

Bangor - Blood donations are especially low this year, and officials with the American Red Cross are hoping to change that locally.

Anyone who donates during this week's blood drive gets a ticket to the Bangor State Fair and a Red Sox t-shirt.

"Right now, we are in a national appeal for blood donors. We are at the lowest levels that we've been in 15 years. We are asking all elligible blood donors to come out and give and this week's a perfect time," said Rebecca MacManus of the American Red Cross.

The blood drive is Tuesday through Thursday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM then Friday and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

The American Red Cross is set up at the Bangor Elks Lodge at 108 Odlin Road. Walk-ins are welcome, but you're encouraged to make an appointment by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS.
