American Red Cross Blood Drive - Donate Blood

Project Description

MSU staff, faculty and students, alumni and friends - on Wednesday, September 21, roll up your sleeves and help save lives. The MSU Alumni Office is proudly partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive during Spartans Serve Week. Each pint of blood we collect can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of so many more.

The blood drive will take place in Varsity S, on the second floor of Spartan Stadium, between 10 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. Time slots are available in 15-minute increments. You must use this link - www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=MSUAlumni - to see available time slots and schedule your specific time (this link is also live in the American Red Cross Accommodations section below). All donors must schedule in advance, no walk-ins. 

A typical donation takes less than one hour and the donation itself is only about 8-10 minutes on average.

As part of Spartans Serve Week, let’s make a difference – it’s not every day that we can do something that has such a live-saving impact.
