The American Red Cross is seeking blood donors of all races and ethnicities to help meet the diverse needs of patients, including those with sickle cell disease. The most compatible blood for patients often comes from donors of the same race or similar ethnicity. Encourage friends, family and the community to make an appointment at the WSU blood drive from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 7 and 8 at the Heskett Center. Appointments can be made on the Red Cross website or by calling 1-800-733-2767.
