ATU’s Lifesaving Blood Drive: Donate and Make a Difference February 6-8!
Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. That’s why Arkansas Tech University is teaming up with the American Red Cross to host a lifesaving blood drive on February 6-8.
The blood drive will take place at the ATU campus and is open to students, faculty, and the public. Donating blood is a simple way to make a huge impact and potentially save a life.
According to the American Red Cross, every blood donation can help save up to three lives. Whether it’s for someone undergoing surgery, a medical emergency, or a patient with a chronic illness, your donation can make a significant difference.
The blood drive is an excellent opportunity for individuals to give back to their community and help those in need. Donors can rest assured that every precaution will be taken to ensure the safety and wellbeing of both donors and staff, especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
For those who are interested in participating in the blood drive, appointments can be scheduled in advance to help manage donor flow and maintain social distancing guidelines. Additionally, all donors will receive a complimentary COVID-19 antibody test with their donation.
If you are able to donate, this is an excellent opportunity to give back to the community and potentially save lives. Make a difference and join ATU’s lifesaving blood drive on February 6-8!
