The Red Cross has teamed with Tetris, creators of the video game, to celebrate its 40th anniversary and build the blood supply for patients in need. All who give May 20-June 9 will get a Tetri + Red Cross T-shirt, while supplies last, plus be entered for a chance to win a trip for two to New York to meet Tetris creator, Alexey Pajitnov.
