Give blood, get Dunkin Donuts Coffee

To celebrate National Blood Donor Month and help increase awareness about the need for blood, Dunkin’ Donuts and the American Red Cross are teaming up for the annual “Give a Pint, Get a Pound” campaign, which provides a coupon for a free pound of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee* to all presenting blood donors at Red Cross blood drives in Connecticut during the month of January. In addition, Connecticut Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants are hosting blood drives throughout the month of January to collect blood for patients in need.

By offering all presenting donors a coupon for a free pound of coffee, Dunkin’ Donuts and the Red Cross are thanking donors who support Connecticut’s blood supply by rolling up their sleeves to give the gift of life. Patients in Connecticut hospitals need blood every day and one donation of blood may help save three lives. Because winter is often a challenging time for blood collections due to severe weather and flu season, the “Give a Pint, Get a Pound” campaign helps boost blood collections when patients need it most. The “Give a Pint, Get a Pound” campaign achieved great success last year, helping the Red Cross exceed blood collection goals. Over the past two years, Dunkin’ Donuts has donated more than 100,000 pounds of coffee to the Red Cross.
