The American Red Cross needs your help! The Greensboro Science Center is partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive on Tuesday, October 1, 2024 from 10 am - 2:30 pm in the SAIL Center. Pre-registration is strongly recommended to ensure there is a spot available to donate. With someone needing blood every two seconds in the U.S., your donation makes a difference.
You must be at least 17 years old to donate, and will go through a short health screening to determine your eligibility. Sign up for your donation time now - just one hour of your time could help save more than one life!
Admission to the Science Center is not included.

The Red Cross is following FDA blood donation eligibility guidance for those who receive a COVID-19 vaccination, and deferral times may vary depending on the type of vaccine an individual receives. If you’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine, you’ll need to provide the manufacturer name when you come to donate. Upon vaccination, you should receive a card or printout indicating what COVID-19 vaccine was received, and we encourage you to bring that card with you to your next donation. In most cases, there is no deferral time for individuals who received a COVID-19 vaccine as long as they are symptom free and feeling well at the time of donation.
The following eligibility guidelines apply to each COVID-19 vaccine received, including boosters:
There is no deferral time for eligible blood donors who are vaccinated with an inactivated or RNA based COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by AstraZeneca, Janssen/J&J, Moderna, Novavax, or Pfizer.
Eligible blood donors who received a live attenuated COVID-19 vaccine or do not know what type of COVID-19 vaccine they received must wait two weeks before giving blood.
If you have further eligibility questions, please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
