Participate in the life-saving act of donating blood with the Red Cross!  This blood drive day will run as a two shift operation.  The first shift will run 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, and then the event will break to sanitize the room and transition staff.  Then, the second shift blood drive will run from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm.

Students planning to donate MUST REGISTER BEFOREHAND; no walk-up appointments allowed this year!  Book your appointment time on this Red Cross website or by going online to www.RedCrossBlood.org and entering the sponsor code: AUBURN.
