CU Boulder’s Staff Council focuses on helping both the campus and our community. Each year, we partner with Vitalant to help save lives through multiple on-campus blood drives. Annually, we will host five blood drives. We additionally impact our community through coat drives, canned food drives, shoe drives, and more!
Boulder Campus Staff Council has been hosting blood drives since 1973. Since this partnership began, the CU Boulder campus community has saved or enhanced over 110,000 lives!
Virtual Donation Option for CU Blood Donors!
With all of the changes we have experienced during the pandemic, hosting a blood drive on-campus is not feasible for us. However, we are still committed to the mission of saving lives through blood donation, so we are currently hosting virtual blood drives.
Participating in the virtual blood drive is easy. For us to track all of the donations at our CU Boulder virtual blood drives, you need to follow these steps:
- Sign up for the virtual blood drive to get your emailed invitation to schedule your appointment.
- When your email arrives, click “Schedule Now” to book your appointment at any convenient blood donation location using the same email address you used to sign up. This is important because it helps Vitalant connect your donation to our organization’s virtual blood drive*.
- Prepare for your donation by eating a healthy meal and drinking plenty of water. Remember to bring a photo ID with you.
- Give blood, transform lives!
