Red Cross Blood Drive

As part of our mission to the greater community, Penney Memorial is pleased to host the American Red Cross blood drive six times every year. We hosted our first blood drive on July 6, 1982; 41 pints were collected that day. Since then, members and friends from throughout the Augusta area have given over 16,500 pints of life-saving blood.

As a thank you, donors can enter contests for prizes, such as Red Sox tickets or gift certificates. First-time donors also receive free tee-shirts.
