Magnolia encourages blood donations with free admission coupon

June 8, 2017

 

Magnolia Plantation and Gardens is partnering with the American Red Cross to encourage blood donations in June by offering free garden admission to America’s oldest garden.

Give blood or attempt to give blood at an American Red Cross blood drive or donation center in the tri-county area in June to receive a coupon that can be redeemed for admission before July 31. The free admission is not valid in conjunction with other discounts to Magnolia.

Patrick K. Lamontagne, the agency’s district manager of blood services, said the American Red Cross has a goal to collect 2,700 units of blood from the tri-county during June. All presenting blood donors will receive a coupon, he said.

To make an appointment to donate blood, call 1-800-RED CROSS, visit redcrossblood.org or download the Red Cross blood donor app.
