Huskers have donated more than 3,300 pints over the past 5 years.

This year’s blood drive needs 742 individuals to be donors Sept 30–Oct 3.

It is recommended to sign up in advance for a 15-minute time slot. Walk-in donors will be accommodated, too.

SIGN UP NOW TO DONATE


Every whole blood donation helps three patients in need. The blood is separated into three parts — red blood cells, plasma, and platelets — with each becoming a life-saving treatment.

Student donors earn Homecoming Points for their organization in the HC Student Competition.
