Many schools that host blood drives are out of session during the summer, and regular donors are often vacationing, potentially making them less available to give.<\/p>\n<p>World Blood Donor Day highlights the constant need for donors &#8211; during the summer and throughout the year. Supermodel Niki Taylor, the celebrity spokesperson for World Blood Donor Day, fully understands the importance of blood donations. In 2001, she was in a near-fatal car accident and received about 100 pints of blood. To this day, she attributes her survival to the blood donors and doctors who helped save her life.<\/p>\n<p>Those who come to donate blood with the Red Cross June 8-14, 2015, will receive a limited-edition Nexcare give bandage in one of eight global-inspired designs in honor of World Blood Donor Day.<\/p>\n<p>Every day this summer is a chance to give hope. Eligible donors are encouraged to choose their day to make a difference. Donors of all blood types &#8211; especially those with types O negative, A negative and B negative &#8211; are needed. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Upcoming blood donation opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Adams County<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>6\/12\/2015: 10 a.m. &#8211; 4 p.m., Adams Memorial Hospital, 1100 Mercer Ave. in Decatur.<\/li>\n<li>6\/12\/2015: 8 a.m. &#8211; 2 p.m., Zurcher&#8217;s Best-One Tire and Auto Care, 101 North Polk St. in Monroe.<\/li>\n<li>6\/13\/2015: 8 a.m. &#8211; 2 p.m., Zurcher&#8217;s Best-One Tire and Auto Care, 101 North Polk St. in Monroe.<\/li>\n<li>6\/15\/2015: 2 p.m. &#8211; 8 p.m., Indiana Fallen Officer Blood Drive, Lehman Park Pavilion, 667 Lehman St. in Berne.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allen County<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>6\/1\/2015: 2 p.m. &#8211; 8 p.m., Christian Community Center of Harlan, 12616 Spencerville Rd. in Harlan.<\/li>\n<li>6\/3\/2015: 7:30 a.m. &#8211; 12:30 p.m., Wells Fargo Bank Wayne St., 111 East Wayne St. in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>6\/4\/2015: 8 a.m. &#8211; 11 a.m., Brown Mackie College, 3000 East Coliseum Blvd. in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>6\/4\/2015: 1 p.m. &#8211; 4 p.m., Belmont Beverage, 3309 North Anthony Blvd. in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>6\/5\/2015: 8 a.m. &#8211; 11 a.m., Mill Supplies Inc., 5105 Industrial Rd. in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>6\/6\/2015: 8 a.m. &#8211; 2 p.m., Crossbridge Community Church, 3409 Hursh Rd. in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>6\/7\/2015: 8 a.m. &#8211; 1 p.m., St Joseph Catholic Church, 11337 Old US 27 South in Fort Wayne.<\/li>\n<li>6\/8\/2015: 2 p.m. &#8211; 7 p.m., Emanuel Lutheran Church, 800 Green St. in New Haven.<\/li>\n<li>6\/10\/2015: 3 p.m. &#8211; 7 p.m., St. Patrick Catholic Church, 12305 Arcola Rd. in Arcola.<\/li>\n<li>6\/10\/2015: 1 p.m. &#8211; 3:30 p.m., Woodview Health Care, 3420 E.
