JW Marriott Resort & Spa Las Vegas and Rampart Casino, in conjunction with Vitalant, to host two-day blood drive July 3-4 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment online to reserve a spot by visiting vitalant.org and enter ‘RAMPART’ as the code and donors are able to sign up for this blood drive, as well as other upcoming drives.
Vitalant has a critical shortage of blood and urges all eligible donors to make an appointment to donate to replenish the blood supply.
While the need for blood donations is a constant necessity in the community, the summer months are when blood donations are most needed due to drastic drops in donations.
On average, donors give several thousand fewer donations during the summer compared to the rest of the year, but the need for lifesaving blood transfusions remains steady.
Vitalant must collect about 5,300 donations every day to meet the needs of patients at 900 hospitals coast-to-coast.
Type O blood is below a two-day supply.
Type O is the most transfused blood type and O-negative is what emergency room personnel reach for when there is not time to determine a patient’s blood type.
Type O donors can maximize their impact by giving two units of red cells, or a “Power Red” donation, where other blood components are safely and comfortably returned to the donor.
There is no waiting period to give blood after receiving an FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine.
Donors at this drive will receive a Wet’n’Wild voucher for a complimentary admission to the park.
Donors will also receive a free Vitalant t-shirt (redeemable via email).
WHEN: Saturday, July 3 & Sunday, July 4, 2021 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
WHERE: Marquis Ballroom JW Marriott Las Vegas / Rampart Casino 221 N. Rampart Blvd. Las Vegas, NV 89145
