MARION – Withers Broadcasting and Dana Communications will host the Rock and Roll Up Your Sleeve Blood Drive Monday.

It will run from noon to 5 p.m. in the Charter Lounge at Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois in Marion.

Mikane Rainscammer, with the American Red Cross, says all types are needed especially O negative because it is the most used blood type.

Before giving blood, you should eat a healthy meal and drink an extra 16 ounces of water and fluids before your donation.

There will also be some goodies for you after your donation Monday.

To make an appointment, call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit RedCrossBlood.org.
