SANTA ANA, Calif. – Passengers traveling to and from John Wayne Airport on Monday, April 16, 2007 will have an opportunity to donate blood from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Orange County Chapter of the American Red Cross will have its Bloodmobile parked at John Wayne Airport’s Thomas F.

”The blood drive is a convenient way for willing employees and passengers to donate to a good cause,” said Alan L. Murphy, airport director. “Passengers can give blood while they wait for their flights, and our employees can donate blood at their place of business.”
