BALTIMORE -- Red Cross said it needs help to avert a blood shortage, so it's offering a big incentive to potential blood donors.

The prize is in collaboration with Warner Bros. for the theatrical release of Meg 2: The Trench. 

Anyone who donates blood in August will get a $10 e-gift card to a movie merchant of their choice, the organization said. 

The Red Cross said it specifically needs type O negative, type O positive and type B negative blood donors as well as platelet donors.
