Two days to give blood at national convention

Attendees of the 105th American Legion National Convention in New Orleans will have two days’ worth of opportunities to donate blood.

The blood drive will be held Friday, Aug. 23, and Monday, Aug. 26, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day in Exhibit Hall E of the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Walk-ins are welcome, but donors can also preregister for a slot on either day by scanning a QR code here. Donors will be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire the day of the donation, also available via QR code, and will receive a free local T-shirt.
