Students can help save up to three lives and receive a free t-shirt by donating blood at an American Red Cross blood drive.
The blood drive is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 9 at the Towers in Kulhavi Hall room 142.
Appointments can be made by visiting www.redcrossblood.org, using the sponsor code "CMU." Walk-ins are also welcome.
"Twenty percent of the blood the American Red Cross collects is from students," said American Red Cross Donor Recruitment Manager Lindsey Chesebro. "We really rely on our students to keep our blood supply where it needs to be so we can continue to make sure we meet patient needs.
"Our goal is to collect 50 units of blood, but we’ll hope to see closer to 65 or more donors to meet and hopefully exceed that goal."
