Find a Blood Drive
April is National Volunteer Month and the American Red Cross encourages University of Kansas students, faculty and staff to give blood during the annual spring blood drive April xx-xx. Donating blood is a simple way to make a profound difference in the lives of patients.
Volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for those in need of transfusions. Donors of all blood types are needed this spring
“We’re excited to be back on the KU campus,” said Susan Faler, account manager, Central Plains Blood Services Region. “This blood drive is a great opportunity to see the Jayhawk spirit of giving in action.”
In addition to helping save lives, all those coming to donate will receive a KU T-shirt, while supplies last.

How to donate blood
All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
