Give Blood, Get Roses: Walter Knoll Florist Teams Up With Red Cross For Blood Drive

ST. LOUIS – January is National Blood Donor Month, a time to honor donors who selflessly give the gift of life. The need for blood donations is great at the start of the new year and one of the most challenging times to collect blood products. Save a life this January and make an appointment to give now.

Join the American Red Cross and Walter Knoll Florist, in partnership with 103.3 KLOU and iHeartRadio St. Louis, at the Walter Knoll Florist Blood Drive, on Friday, January 23, from 5 a.m. – 11 a.m., at 2765 LaSalle Street, in St. Louis.

“Our partnership with Walter Knoll Florist will make a lifesaving difference for those who need blood,” said LaKricia Cox, Executive Director, Red Cross of Greater St. Louis. “We appreciate their generosity and willingness to give back to our community.”

All donors will receive an exclusive Red Cross t-shirt and a dozen roses with their donation, while supplies last.
