We had a blast walking in the #BaltimorePride parade last weekend!
All are welcome in the Red Cross mission, and we were happy to celebrate pride month with our friends and neighbors in downtown Baltimore.

Your help is urgently needed! After a dangerous drop in scheduled appointments, we're asking donors of all blood types to give to help keep the blood and platelet supply strong this summer.
When you come to give blood or platelets through June 28, you’ll receive a $15 e-gift card to the merchant of your choice as a thank-you. Make an appointment to donate blood today: rdcrss.org/4aAKKUh

Some of the best summer moments come from giving back. Donating blood or platelets is a simple act with a powerful impact, especially during a time when donations tend to slow. Take a pause from your summer plans and book your donation with the Red Cross: RedCrossBlood.org
