Nexcare Bandages partners with America's Blood Centers

ST. PAUL, Minn. Nexcare Bandages announced earlier this month that it will partner with America’s Blood Centers on a new initiative to make blood donation a national priority by thanking donors and encouraging recurring donations.

Nexcare Bandages and America’s Blood Centers will salute blood donors with a limited edition “give” bandage, created by Nexcare, which will be distributed at blood centers nationwide June 8 through 14.

“We are passionate about this noble cause and committed to raising awareness and recognition in our communities,” stated Paul Hansen, division general manager, 3M Consumer Health Care. “The dedication of blood donors across the country is inspiring — these people are saving lives every day. We hope donors will wear their Nexcare “give” bandages with pride to show that they have donated blood and encourage others to do the same.”

In addition to use at blood centers nationwide, free samples of the Nexcare “give” bandages will be available to the public beginning May 1 ww.nexcare.com/give.

“We are grateful to all donors for their lifesaving work,” commented Don Doddridge, president of America’s Blood Centers. “With the economy in flux, we encourageAmericans to remember there are many ways to give back. If you consider that just one hour of your time is enough to save three lives, giving blood regularly is a great way for volunteers to serve their community.”
