There’s a critical need for blood donors of all types in Michigan now. American Red Cross spokesman Todd Kulman says there’s less than a three day supply of Type O blood.

“Which of course is the universal blood type, which can be transferred into any patient regardless of their type,” explains Kulman. “Also looking for platelet donors right now to make an appointment to give and help replenish the blood supply after the busy, busy holiday.”

Those who come to give blood or platelets from now until January 19th will automatically be entered for a chance to win a trip to Super Bowl 54 in Miami. Donors can make an appointment by visiting RedCrossBlood.org, or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
