To honor those who “give” around the world, Nexcare
Bandages and the Red Cross are teaming up, offering a limited-edition
collection of bandages with the theme “Feel the Beat, Give Blood.”
The bandages feature five vibrant dance-inspired designs reflecting
different styles and cultures from around the globe.
“I am proud to team up with the Nexcare Give Program each year,
with the mission of sparking a critical dialogue around the vital need
for blood donation,” said supermodel and Nexcare Give spokesperson,
Niki Taylor. “For me, the cause is also a personal one. Following a car
accident 15 years ago that left me in critical condition, the efforts of
the American Red Cross and their brave donors saved my life. In honor of
World Blood Donor Day, I am sharing my story and encouraging people
around the world to support blood donation, inspiring their friends and
families to join the cause.”
Beginning on Monday, June 6 and continuing throughout the week of World
Blood Donor Day (June 14), individuals who come to give blood at a
participating Red Cross blood drive or blood donation center will
receive the limited-edition Nexcare Give Bandages, while supplies
last.
Pledge to support blood donation, locate a nearby blood drive and
sign up to receive free Nexcare Give Bandages by mail, while
supplies last, by visiting Nexcaregive.com.
Those who aspire to show support and share personal blood donation
stories with friends and the “give” community are encouraged to
