TEMPE, AZ — Vitalant is offering some new incentives in order to help combat what it is calling a nationwide blood shortage.
Wednesday's Saving Arizona Blood Drive held at Tempe Center for the Arts was a success, according to Vitalant, but the organization says additional donations are still greatly needed. The recent blood drive collected 582 red blood cell donations. Vitalant says that is enough to fill all the blood needs for the 62 hospitals they serve in Arizona.Vitalant is offering a free one-day voucher for the Waste Management Phoenix Open, being held February 9-12."Changes in how people work, live and play since the start of the pandemic created lasting challenges to maintaining an adequate blood supply," Vitalant said in a statement.
