NewsChannel 21 and the American Red Cross asked you to make a blood donation appointment during our ‘Blood Saves Lives’ telethon on our KFXO and KTVZ newscasts on Tuesday evening. And boy, did you deliver! We nearly TRIPLED our 50-appointment goal for the 3 1/2-hour broadcast!
Of course, it’s never too late to donate – we have links from our Red Cross promotional ads on this page to a sign-up form. You can also watch our NewsChannel 21 personalities donating blood, live, and see several stories we aired of just how important your blood donation can be for those whose very lives depend on it.
Thanks for all your support, Central Oregon!
