Mississippi Blood Services hosting campus blood drive Tuesday at ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ

Members of the ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ campus community are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and help save lives by participating in an upcoming blood drive. 

Date: Tuesday, Sept. 15   
Time: Noon-5 p.m.   

Location: The Mississippi Blood Services Donor Coach will be set up in the soccer field parking lot next to the Hunter Henry Center.    

***All successful donations will receive a free COVID-19 Antibody Test.***   

The need for blood donors is always critical, but the need significantly increases during times of public health crises. According to Mississippi Blood Services, less than 4 percent of Mississippians donate blood on a regular basis. The organization, which supplies more than 200 units of much-needed blood products daily to hospitals across the state, is currently experiencing a severe shortage.   

ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ is responding to this rising concern by asking faculty, staff and students to be heroes and give at the upcoming blood drive. Together, the ÌÒÌ«ÀÉÓ³Ïñ community can help boost the state's current supply and ensure patients in need have access to adequate treatment.

Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are encouraged.

Please spread the word and encourage fellow Bulldogs to join in this life-saving effort.
