Thursday, February 10, 2022; The Red Cross is about to release a Blood Crisis tomorrow—inventories are dangerously low—so any and all donations are especially important and appreciated at this time:

Time and location:

- Thursday, February 10, 2022

- 9:30 AM-3:00 PM

- N201 Millennium Science Complex

- Sponsored by MRI, SSRI, Huck, IEE, ICS, and the OSVPR

Please remember, masks are required inside the building! Remember, a single blood donation can help save up to three lives—every donor and every pint counts!

-Penn State is competing with a few of the other Big10 schools (Wisconsin, Michigan, and Michigan State) to see who is the Top Dog in blood donations!  All presenting donors will receive a t-shirt.

-Every presenting donor will receive a $10 Amazon egiftcard (sent via email to the donor’s email address on file with the Red Cross a few weeks after they present to donate)!

[IMPORTANT NOTE: Though walk-in donations will be accepted, please make an appointment for your donation if at all possible--this will ensure that we are adequately staffed to accommodate everyone who wishes to donate, as the Red Cross staffs the drive based upon the number of appointments made in advance--thanks!]
