Help the Red Cross Club & Staff Council Blood Drive Committee meet our goal of collecting 33 units of blood.  

There are 3 appointments left for those eligible to donate POWER RED.  If you have O (positive or negative), A negative or B negative blood and meet age, height, and weight requirements, we could use your help.  The Power Red donation process takes a bit longer.    

Power Red not for you?  Our next Blood Drive will be January 31st, 2024 in Emerson Suites.  You can sign up to donate now!
