Blood Drive
Service
Elliott University Center hosts multiple Red Cross Blood Drives during the school year. Drives are day-long events and are great way to serve the community. Students are encouraged to serve as a donor or as a drive volunteer.
The Drive collects whole blood and automated double blood donations. Whole blood donations typically take 15 minutes. Double blood donations typically take an hour.
2012-2013 Dates
- Wednesday, April 17
Registration will be open on April 1 for the April 17 Blood Drive!
While appointments will be given priority, walk-ins are welcome!
Come Prepared
Be sure to come prepared when giving blood. Have a light meal and plenty to drink. Bring your Red Cross donor card (optional), driver’s license or two other forms of identification. Also, bring the names of any medications you are currently taking. NOTE: Double blood donation is only accepting blood types A-, B-, O+, and O-.
Volunteers Needed
