CU Boulder Staff Council is excited to announce an upcoming Blood Drive on campus from April 9 tp April 11, 2024. Spring is a season of transformation and the CU Boulder community along with longtime partner Vitalant have the ability to transform lives in local area hospitals by spending a short period of time donating blood. Each donation has the power to save lives, providing crucial support to patients undergoing surgeries, battling illnesses, or facing emergencies right in our communities. By participating in the Blood Drive, we reaffirm our commitment to the well-being of others and strengthen the bonds that unite us as a community. Athletics will be giving away 2 tickets to the CU Women’s Lacrosse vs. Oregon on April 26th for those who donate.    

By participating in the Blood Drive, we come together as a community to support one another and those in need. 

Blood donation is a simple yet powerful way to make a difference in someone's life. Each donation can save up to three lives, making a direct impact on individuals facing medical emergencies, surgeries, or chronic illnesses. By participating, we embody the spirit of compassion and demonstrate our commitment to the well-being of our broader community.
