I emailed the American Red Cross and this was their reply:

Thank you for contacting the American Red Cross. We are terribly sorry to hear of the inconvenience you described regarding the telerecruitment calls. It would never be our intention to upset you with our marketing efforts; our strategy is only to ensure an adequate supply of blood for patients in need.

On your behalf, I have forwarded your request to the Red Cross Blood Services *Customer Care* staff to remove you from the lists. Please feel free to contact Customer Care directly if you have any issues in the future regarding Red Cross blood marketing, as they have immediate access to the marketing database. They can be reached via email at: [email protected]

On behalf of the Red Cross, I apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,

American Red Cross Public Inquiry
