Blood donors can receive coupon for free haircut

The American Red Cross and Sport Clips Haircuts are teaming up to offer a free haircut coupon to those who donate blood or platelets during September.

Those who come out to give blood or platelets Sept. 1-30 will receive a coupon for a free haircut via email several days after their donation. The coupon is valid through Nov. 6 at participating Sport Clips locations, and donors must have a valid email address on record to receive the coupon.

Local blood drives include 9 a.m.-2 p.m. on Sept. 4 at Korean Calvary United Methodist Church, Community Building, 572 Ryders Lane, East Brunswick;

10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 4 at Dunkin Donuts, 801 Green Street, Iselin; and

9 a.m.-2 p.m. Sept. 10 at St. Ambrose Catholic Church, 96 Throckmorton Lane, Old Bridge.

To schedule an appointment to donate, use the free Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce wait times.
