This Jul y, the American Red Cross and WONDER WOMAN 1984 are joining forces to save the day for patients in need of lifesaving blood transfusions. The Red Cros s has an urgent need for blood donors this summer, as the COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented supply challenges amid this uncertain environment . Additionally, despite states lifting stay-at-home orders and reopening, m any blood drives at businesses and community organizations continue to be c ancelled as these locations remain closed or restrict the number of individ uals at any location.
As part of the partnership, the Red Cross is organizing an epic prop replica giveaw ay from the new Warner Bros. Pictures film WONDER WOMAN 1984, due to hit th eaters nationwide on October 2, to thank those who roll up a sleeve and hel p patients battling illness and injury. Those who present to donate July 1- 31 will automatically be entered for a chance to win an authentic WONDER WOMAN 1984 movie prop replica package, which includes the Golden Lasso and a pair of Gauntlets, identical to WOND ER WOMAN’s from the film.*

Be a SUPERHERO
Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood—kids battli ng cancer, accident victims being raced into emergency rooms, and new moms with complicated childbirths. Unfortunately, superheroes are in short suppl y as only 3 out of 100 Americans donate blood.
While tens of thousands of donors gave blood in response to an initial blood shortage caused by this coronavirus outbreak, it’s important to remember that red blood cells must be transfused within 4 2 days of donation, and platelets within just five days, so they must const antly be replenished.
Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of s afety and infection control. Don ors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arrival and are required to wear a face covering or mask while at the drive, in alignment with Cente rs for Disease Control public guidance.
Donors can save up to 15 minutes at the blood drive by completing a RapidPass®. With RapidPass®, donors complete the pre-donation reading an d health history questionnaire online, on the day of donation, from a mobil e device or computer. To complete a RapidPass®, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Red Cross Blood Don or App.
In most states, individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at leas t 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blo od. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
*Terms and conditions apply. Valid email address is required. Lim it five (5) entries per presenting donor. Winner will be selected and notif ied via the email listed in their American Red Cross donor profile on or ar ound Aug. 10, 2020. Offer is non-transferable and not redeemable for cash. Void where prohibited. Giveaway begins July 1, 2020 and ends July 31, 2020. Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. and its parents, affiliates and subsidiari es are not responsible for the promotion, administration or execution of th is Giveaway.
