The American Red Cross is urging residents to roll up their sleeves this spring to help maintain a stable blood supply, partnering with the positive lifestyle brand "Life is Good" to reward local donors.
To help keep momentum up during a season often disrupted by spring break plans and outdoor activities, anyone who comes to give blood between March 30 and April 12, 2026, will receive an exclusive Red Cross x Life is Good T-shirt, while supplies last.
"Giving blood is proof that one person and one simple act can make a real difference," said Linne Kimball, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for Life is Good. "We hope this collaboration inspires donors old and new to turn positivity into purpose."
Donors of all blood types are critically needed to ensure lifesaving blood products remain available for patients. Marshall County residents have three upcoming opportunities to donate locally:
- Bremen: April 1 from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at St. Isidore Hall, located at 803 W. Bike St.
- Plymouth: April 2 from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Plymouth Columbus Club, located at 901 East Jefferson St.
- Culver: April 9 from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Culver High School, located at 701 School St.
