Cleveland - The American Red Cross has partnered with the Cleveland Browns and Anheuser-Busch to host a ONE TEAM blood drive in FirstEnergy Stadium’s KeyBank Club on Saturday, May 30th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Red Cross has an urgent need for blood donations to prevent another blood shortage as hospitals resume surgical procedures and patient treatments that were temporarily paused earlier this spring in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Healthy individuals who are feeling well must make an appointment to donate by visiting RedCrossBlood.org/OneTeam, using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, calling 1-800-RED-CROSS orenabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device.
Donors are required to schedule an appointment prior to arriving and must wear a face covering or mask at the drive, in alignment with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention public guidance.
FirstEnergy Stadium’s KeyBank Club is located on the south side of the facility next to the Browns Pro Shop on Alfred Lerner Way.
Donors, who should not bring additional guests, are recommended to park at the meters located in front of the KeyBank Club and wait in their cars until their appointment time. Staff onsite will take the temperature of all individuals, who will be able to wait in lines marked with signage in place to accommodate proper social distancing practices prior to entering.
Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, and additional precautions – including temperature checks, social distancing and face coverings for donors and staff – have been implemented to ensure the health of all those in attendance.
Everyone who donates will receive a free Red Cross T-shirt and be entered for a chance to win an autographed football.
