The American Red Cross and Gardner White are teaming up for a two-day blood drive to help people in need of lifesaving blood.

Those who come to give through April 30 will be automatically entered for a chance to win a $5,000 gift card.

The Red Cross depends on volunteer donors to collect more than 12,000 blood donations nationwide every day.

This two-day will be held from 11 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22, and Thursday, April 24.

Donors of all types are needed, but especially those with type O blood and those giving platelets.

You can make an appointment by going to RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS, or using the Red Cross Blood Donor App and code gardnerwhite.

All presenting donors who come to give at a Gardner White store will receive a $50 coupon toward a purchase of $399 or more, while supplies last, and have a chance to win a $500 gift certificate.

Donors will receive a Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last, and have a chance to win a $5,000 gift card. There will be three gift card winners.
