Project Description

Join the Detroit Spartans in donating blood at any blood drive or blood center in the U.S. through Dec. 4 to support Michigan State University in the Abbott Big Ten Blood Challenge. By donating blood, you'll help increase MSU's chances of winning a $1 million grant for student or community health — all while helping tackle the national blood shortage.

Detroit Spartans, along with their friends and family members, can donate blood at any blood drive or blood center in the U.S. To ensure your donation counts toward MSU's total, submit your donation at BigTen.org/Abbott/Submit or by texting GIVEBLOOD to 222688 (ABBOTT).

As a thank you, each donor will receive a limited-edition MSU T-shirt. Watch for an email with instructions on how to claim your free T-shirt.

Let's do our part, Detroit Spartans, to help the Spartans win, strengthen the nation's blood supply, save lives, and have some fun along the way. Go Green!
