November 11-13 Blood Drive Eryn Van Poole Tue, 11/11/2025 - 11:02

Join us for the ��ɫ��Ƶ Blood Drive, happening Tuesday, November 11 through Thursday, November 13, in proud partnership with our longtime partner, Vitalant. As we head into the season of giving, what better way to show your gratitude than by giving the gift of life?

Appointments are strongly recommended but walk-ins are welcome. Let’s show what Buffs can do when we give from the heart. Please see the below appointment links for November.

At our last blood drive, we hit our goal of collecting 55 units each day- now let’s aim even higher! Join the ��ɫ��Ƶ community in going above and beyond to make an even greater difference. Every donation can help save up to three lives, and your generosity could make all the difference for patients in need over the holidays.

Why: Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Donating blood is a selfless and impactful act of kindness, and each donation can save up to three different lives. Hospitals in the area and medical facilities rely on voluntary blood donors to provide a steady blood supply for medical procedures, surgeries, and emergencies.

We are committed to achieving our blood drive goals and Staff Council is confident that the ��ɫ��Ƶ community will rise to the occasion. With your support and participation, we can surpass our blood drive target of fifty-five units per day and make a remarkable impact with each donation.

How to prepare:

Review eligibility criteria: Donor Eligibility
Eat a healthy meal and stay hydrated before your donation appointment
Bring a valid photo ID
Try and get a good night’s sleep the day before

Staff Council is committed to inclusivity and understands that some may not be eligible to donate. We invite all to be involved in other ways. For more information about volunteering at our events, please contact Staff Council.

This November, join us for the ��ɫ��Ƶ Staff Council Blood Drive and unite with others to make a meaningful impact in our community. By donating blood on November 11, 12 and 13 2025, you can help save lives and bring hope to those in need. Together, we can create a powerful difference for countless individuals in our community!

Join us for the ��ɫ��Ƶ Blood Drive, happening Tuesday, November 11 through Thursday, November 13, in proud partnership with our longtime partner, Vitalant.
