■Juneteenth
donation events
The A m erican Red Cross is
choosing this y ear’s Juneteenth
celebration, the day the last slaves
in the United States were freed, to
let area residents know more about
rare blood types and diseases that
are unique to the African-Am eri­
can community.
African-American patients with
sickle cell anemia, certain cancers
and rare blood types such as U-
negati ve and Duffy-negative could
die if they don’t have donations
from A frican-Am erican donors.
Ethnicity is also critically important
in matching bone marrow donors
for patients with leukemia.
“African Americans who have
rare blood types and need blood
transfusions depend on African
Americans to come in and donate
forthem. There’salw aysadem and
for blood,” said Melissa Long o f
the American Red Cross.
Even through African Americans
make up seven percent o f Portland's
population, less then two percent o f
blood donors are A frican American.
The American Red Cross will
launch a Juneteenth Blood Drive
from noon to 6 p.m. Wednesday,
June 25, at the Red Cross Portland
C enterat3131 N. Vancouver Ave.
The event features live entertain­
ment from local choirs and bands,
food and giveaways.
In addition, the RedCross “Save
a Life Tour" will come through Port­
land with its American Red Cross
Mobile Blood M useum on Satur­
day, June 21. The afternoon event
will be held in the North Park Blocks
in downtown Portland.
