Give the Gift of Life: CU Boulder Staff Council Hosts December Campus Blood Drive
The holidays are a time for compassion and generosity, and one meaningful way to show care for others is by donating blood. CU Boulder Staff Council and longtime partner Vitalant are excited to announce an upcoming blood drive! Each donation can save up to three lives, making a direct impact on individuals in our community facing medical emergencies, surgeries, or chronic illnesses. Let’s come together to share the gift of life this season, turning our goodwill into action.
Where: Student Recreation Center, Ice Rink Overlook
When:
- Tuesday December 3rd, 2024: 10:00 AM- 2:30 PM
- Wednesday December 4th, 2024: 10:00 AM- 2:30 PM
- Thursday December 5th, 2024: 10:00 AM- 2:30 PM
Why: Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. 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.
We are committed to achieving our blood drive goals, and Staff Council is confident that the CU Boulder community will rise to the occasion. With your support and participation, we can surpass our December goal of sixty units per day and make a remarkable impact with each donation.
How to prepare:
- Review eligibility criteria: Donor Eligibility
- Eat a healthy meal and stay hydrated before your donation appointment.
- Bring a valid photo ID.
- Try and get a good night’s sleep the day before.
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, please contact Staff Council.
