Fiz’s Blood Drive

Friday, October 4, from 12 to 4 p.m.
Roy Room, Dion Family Student Center

Donors and volunteers are needed for Fiz’s Blood Drive Friday Oct 4th, 12pm – 5:30PM, in the Roy Event Room in Dion. Due to hurricane Helene that has caused significant damage in the southern U.S., the American Red Cross is at an even more critical need for blood donations as blood drive cancellations resulted in a loss of collecting 1,500 units of blood. Each blood donation can help save multiple lives, and an estimated 29,000 units of blood are used to treat patients in the U.S. every day.

Please consider donating blood, and sign up for your appointment with this link: https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=SMC

We are also looking for volunteers to help with set-up, check in/registration, and sitting with donors. If your interested in volunteering, sign up with this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jpYZXiAcPe9Bc-6_jRLDNcDzrMyNQIh2/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=105366072471347738960&rtpof=true&sd=true

If you sign up to donate and go through the health screening, you will get a $10 amazon gift card via email and be entered in a raffle to win a $5,000 gift card, & free t-shirts!

Donors need to bring a picture ID with them to check in on the day of the blood drive. Knightcard OR license works. Thank you for contributing in any way that you can!

With any medical or eligibility questions, please call the donor helpline at 866-236-3276
