August 1, 2011 (Raleigh/Durham, NC) – The American Red Cross and Edible Arrangements®, the pioneer and leader in artistically designed fresh fruit displays and chocolate dipped fruit, are partnering during the month of August to “Make an Arrangement to Help Save Lives.” During the month of August, all presenting blood donors at American Red Cross blood drives will receive a free coupon* for a free box of six pieces of chocolate dipped fruit as a thank you for coming in to donate blood at a time when blood donations tend to drop due to hot weather, school vacations and holiday travel.
“The American Red Cross is thrilled to partner with Edible Arrangements® during August, one of the most difficult months for collecting blood,” stated Joyce Brendel, chief executive officer of the American Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region. “Thanks to the generous support of Edible Arrangements®, the Red Cross will be better able to provide lifesaving blood for patients in need this August.”
“Edible Arrangements® is proud to partner with the American Red Cross and to thank donors for giving the gift of life, we will give the gift of delicious chocolate dipped fresh fruit,” stated Tariq Farid, CEO of Edible Arrangements International, Inc. “The American Red Cross and Edible Arrangements® ask you to make an arrangement to help save lives by donating blood.”
The American Red Cross asks eligible blood donors to make or keep appointments to give blood this summer to help maintain a stable blood supply for ongoing or emergency needs. The need for blood does not take a vacation and few summer activities feel as good as helping to save lives by donating blood.
To find an American Red Cross blood drive near you, please call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org today to make an appointment to donate blood.
