2009 Blood Drives at the CFHL

Thursday, April 2, Tuesday, September 22 and Monday, December 21 (on the bus).

Every blood donation is an opportunity to help someone in need. Giving blood really does help save lives. Despite the fact that giving blood is easy, safe, and takes less than an hour, only about five percent of eligible Americans donate blood. It is too easy to rationalize that someone else will fill the need. The need for blood is great and never ends.

Help save lives by making the commitment to donate yourself,
and asking your fellow employees to also give blood, the gift of life.

The Center for Healthy Living is located in the Student Life Center on the east end of the campus in lot 15 near 40^th and Emile Street. Individuals can park in the lot while donating. The shuttle also stops in lot 15 across from the south entrance of the building, making it a convenient way to get across campus to donate.
