Play a vital role in saving lives by donating blood without even leaving the beauty of campus. CU Boulder Staff Council is hosting a blood drive at the Student Recreation Center in the Ice Rink Overlook room.泭
Time: Appointments are available starting at 10 a.m., and the last appointment is at 2:15 p.m.泭each day. Walk-in times are available, but if you can, please schedule an appointment using the links in the list below.
Why: Donating blood is a selfless and impactful act of kindness, and each donation can save up to three different lives. Hospitals in the area and medical facilities rely on voluntary blood donors to provide a steady blood supply for medical procedures, surgeries, and emergencies.泭
In the September 2023 blood drive, CU exceeded all the drive goals regarding total donations, and the three-day blood drive collected enough blood to save 565 lives! Staff council is challenging the CU community to do even better this November.
How to prepare:泭
- Review eligibility criteria:
- Eat a healthy meal and stay hydrated before your donation appointment
- Bring a valid photo ID
- Try and get a good nights sleep the day before
You can also donate at several other Vitalant locations; just use the code 0248 when making an appointment on the Vitalant website so your donation is attributed to CU.
Staff Council is committed to inclusivity and understands that some may not be eligible to donate. We invite all to be involved in other ways. For more information about volunteering at our events, including but not limited to blood drives, please contact Staff Council.泭
