The blood drive will be held in conjunction with the American Red Cross from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on March 5 in the Erickson Alumni Center, Nutting Gallery. 

Each donor will receive a $10 eGift card to a pet supply merchant of choice. Give blood, treat your pet and make a “paw-sitive” impact this spring. 

Five donors will also be drawn at random for a chance to win a $3,000 gift card. Find more information.

Walk-in slots are not available. To donate blood, send an email to Sonja.Wilson@mail.wvu.edu or sign up at redcrossblood.org.

Note: Donating blood can save lives in our community. The American Red Cross is experiencing an emergency blood shortage as the nation faces the lowest number of people giving blood in 20 years. Blood and platelet donations are needed now to help alleviate the shortage and ensure life saving medical procedures are not delayed.
