The blood battle is on, and every pint counts!

We're teaming up with the University of Michigan for its annual Blood Battle against long-time rival Ohio State University. This friendly competition aims to bring in blood donations across both campuses and keep hospital shelves stocked with lifesaving blood products ahead of the holidays – one of the most challenging times to collect blood.

The Blood Battle begins on Monday, Oct. 19, and runs through Wednesday, Nov. 25, with over 40 blood drives around U-M and Ann Arbor.

To sign up to donate blood, visit redcrossblood.org and type sponsor code “goblue” in the search box, call 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767) or download the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
