The American Red Cross invites everyone to its 17th annual Cuyahoga Falls Holiday Blood Drive on Tuesday, Dec. 16, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Sheraton Suites Akron/Cuyahoga Falls (1989 Front St.). All blood types are needed.

Donors will get a free Red Cross holiday T-shirt (limited supply), a $15 Amazon gift card via email, and entry for big prizes, including two 65″ QLED TVs, AirPods 4, a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle, or a PlayStation 5 bundle.

There will also be refreshments and a chance to take a photo with Santa (10:30 a.m.–7 p.m.)

With holiday gatherings, seasonal illness, and winter weather threatening blood supplies, this drive is more important than ever, organizers say. 

To sign up, use the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org with sponsor code “Summa,” or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.
