Snoopy leads the way at Aviation Mall blood drive

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. (NEWS10) - The American Red Cross of Northeastern New York is headed back to the Aviation Mall for a blood drive. This month's drive is a collection of blood donations in support of National Volunteer Month.

Volunteers at the Aviation Mall will collect blood donations on Friday, April 21, from 1-6 p.m. The Red Cross will operate across from Regal Cinema, inside the mall's northeast side. Those who want to give blood can make an appointment through the American Red Cross website using sponsor code AVIATIONMALLNY; or by calling 1-800-REDCROSS.

In recognition of National Volunteer Month, the Red Cross is offering an exclusive T-shirt featuring "Peanuts" comic strip and cartoon character Snoopy. Supplies are limited.
