Give Blood Throughout the Afternoon on Sept. 30

Donation times for the F&S Fall Blood Drive on Tuesday, September 30, can now be reserved at https://go.fs.illinois.edu/blooddrive. This drive in the PPSB north parking lot will feature more appointment slots in the afternoon, running from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., to help accommodate individuals who may want to donate directly after their designated lunch period.

Donation Benefits and Requirements

All successful donors will receive their choice of a $20 e-gift card, the same amount to charity, or bonus points in the Loyalty Rewards Store. Eligibility requirements are available at https://www.bloodcenter.org/donate/donor/requirements-faq/. Those who choose to give need to bring a photo ID, drink extra water, and eat a meal before donating.

Take Part in the We Give Blood National Competition

Your donation can also help the U. of I. win the We Give Blood competition against other Big Ten universities. When you donate blood now through Friday, December 5, at any on-campus blood drive, you can be added to the Illinois total and also receive a limited-edition Homefield® vintage Illini T-shirt—a stylish way to show your school spirit while supporting a life-saving cause. Register your donation at https://bigten.org/abbott/ or text “DONATE” to 222688 (ABBOTT) to claim your tee and give Illinois credit.
