July 2, 2024, Press Release from the American Red Cross: LIMA, Ohio, July 2, 2024 — As we prepare for a busy Fourth of July holiday, the American Red Cross asks donors to be a powerful force for good by giving blood now and in the coming weeks. Donors are critically needed right now after a sharp decrease in donations since late spring. All blood types are needed, especially donors giving type O blood.
The American Red Cross and Cedar Fair theme parks have teamed up this summer to encourage the community to give blood. To schedule an appointment to donate today at RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767).
All those who come to donate at select blood drives will receive one free ticket, valid for entry to participating U.S. Cedar Fair parks, while supplies last. Restrictions may apply. Check individual park websites for information on capacity, open dates, and hours. Participating parks are listed below.
