美国红十字会联手《幸运之轮》推节日献血活动：11月23日至12月6日献血者获联名马克杯并可抽洛杉矶之旅
美国红十字会11月9日宣布与长寿电视节目《幸运之轮》合作推出节日献血活动：11月23日至12月6日期间成功捐献全血或血小板的捐献者，可获一只红十字会与《幸运之轮》联名的特大号马克杯，送完为止，并自动获得抽奖资格，奖品是双人三晚洛杉矶之旅，包括进入《幸运之轮》录影现场参观。
红十字会特别呼吁 O 型血捐献者前来献血。从历史数据看，感恩节到新年之间献血量通常会下降约三分之一，医院用血却不会因假期减少，节日季是血库最容易吃紧的时段之一。
此外，11月正值全国糖尿病宣传月，本月献血者还可获得一次免费的糖化血红蛋白（A1C）检测，每人每年限一次结果。红十字会表示，可通过其官网、献血者手机应用或拨打1-800-RED CROSS预约献血。（来源：美国红十字会）
Red Cross Teams Up With Wheel of Fortune for a Holiday Blood Drive: Donors From November 23 to December 6 Get a Co-Branded Mug and a Chance at a Los Angeles Trip
The American Red Cross announced on November 9 that it is teaming up with the long-running game show Wheel of Fortune for a holiday blood drive. Donors who give blood or platelets between November 23 and December 6 will receive an exclusive oversized Red Cross x Wheel of Fortune mug, while supplies last, and will be automatically entered to win a three-night trip for two to Los Angeles, including admission to a Wheel of Fortune taping.
The Red Cross is especially urging type O donors to book appointments. Blood donations historically drop by about one-third between Thanksgiving and the New Year, while hospital demand does not take a holiday, making the season one of the tightest stretches of the year for the blood supply.
November is also National Diabetes Awareness Month, and donors who give this month receive free A1C testing, limited to one result per calendar year. Appointments can be booked through the Red Cross website, the Blood Donor App or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS. (Source: American Red Cross)
