WHAT:
Community blood drive at the Rampart Casino at the Resort at Summerlin and JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa
WHY:
Find the hero in you! Volunteer blood donors are needed in Las Vegas year-round, but summer is especially difficult. In order to help convince donors to give this holiday weekend, all donors at this blood drive will receive one Rampart Casino Buffet voucher and be entered for a chance to win various other prizes.
As Southern Nevada’s community blood provider, United Blood Services relies on blood donations to make sure blood is available for anyone who needs it. UBS currently has a need for all blood types, especially O-negative blood. O-negative is the universal blood type and the only type that can be transfused to patients with different blood types.
