Episode: On-Air with Doug - Tom McCann - American Red Cross Blood Drive 2025
Description: Doug chats with Tom McCann, organizer of the upcoming Nantucket VFW Blood Drive, happening Tuesday, June 10th and Wednesday, June 11th. Tom shares why giving blood is so critical—how just one pint can save up to five lives—and clears up common misconceptions about donating, especially when it comes to concerns like tick-borne illnesses on the island. With a goal of collecting 300 pints, Tom still needs about 60 more donors to sign up and help make a lifesaving difference.To schedule your appointment, visit redcross.org and enter Nantucket’s zip code: 02554.
