Metallica Heads Blood Drive
Metallica’s All Within My Hands foundation (AWMH) and the American Red Cross are urging fans to give blood at select Metallica tour stops across the U.S. to help ensure vital blood supplies are available for hospital patients.
The need for blood is constant and even tends to ramp up around summer holidays.
“The Red Cross is incredibly appreciative that Metallica is helping fuel the blood supply this summer,” said Darren Irby, executive director of national partnerships for Red Cross Biomedical Services. “The band and their foundation are committed to making every tour stop a better place, and this selfless act of rallying fans to donate blood will leave a lifesaving legacy to so many communities.”
