The Red Cross has teamed up with Universal Pictures for the theatrical release of "Twisters" to help avoid a summer blood shortage. All who come to give blood or platelets July 1-31 will get a Fandango movie ticket by email. Those who come to give by July 14 will also receive a one-of-a-kind "Twisters" and Red Cross umbrella while supplies last. In addition, those who come to give blood in July will also automatically be entered for a chance to win a 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn.
