Domino’s partnered with the American Red Cross for the Missing Types campaign to raise awareness of the need for new blood donors to help patients this summer.

Domino’s will join the Red Cross and other companies, organizations, and celebrities to remove the letters A, B, and O – the main blood groups – from its logo in select public-facing messaging to illustrate the critical role blood donations play in patient care.

Domino’s will join the Red Cross and other companies, organizations, and celebrities to remove the letters A, B, and O – the main blood groups – from its logo in select public-facing messaging to illustrate the critical role blood donations play in patient care. Domino’s will feature an altered logo with “missing o’s” on social media platforms while sharing a link where Domino’s fans can make an appointment to donate blood. Many do not realize how important these letters can be until they are missing from hospital shelves.

“The American Red Cross relies on blood donations to ensure lifesaving blood is available to patients whenever and wherever they may need it,” says Neal Litvack, chief marketing officer at the American Red Cross. “We’re so grateful to have partners like Domino’s supporting our Missing Types campaign to help educate broad audiences on the importance of donating blood to help save lives.”

Join the #MissingTypes movement with Domino’s – make an appointment to give blood by visiting redcrossblood.org, using the Red Cross Blood Donor App or calling 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767). All blood types are needed.

“The American Red Cross Missing Types campaign is a worthy effort Domino’s is proud to support for another year,” adds Jenny Fouracre, Domino’s spokesperson. “We hope that delivering the facts about the critical blood need in the United States to fans of Domino’s will bring new donors to the Red Cross.”
