Red Cross to host blood drive on campus July 11
July 3, 2025
The American Red Cross is holding a blood drive on campus from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, July 11 in Carter Hall in the University Center. To schedule an appointment, visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter the sponsor code USIEagles or click this link.
To prepare for the blood drive:
- Get a good night's sleep the night before your donation.
- Eat healthy foods and drink extra liquids.
- Bring your donor card, driver's license or two other forms of identification.
- Bring a list of prescription and over-the-counter medications you're taking.
- Wear a shirt with sleeves that you can roll up above your elbows.
- Ask a friend to donate at the same time. You can support each other and do twice as much good!
If you are an eligible type O, B- or A- donor, you will be able to help more patients by making a Power Red donation. Red blood cells are the most commonly transfused blood component.
Donors at this drive will receive a pair of Red Cross x goodr sunglasses, while they last!
