Red Cross Blood Drive


Participate in the life-saving act of donating blood with the Red Cross!  This year, from November 10-12, each 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.

 

Donors will receive a FREE T-SHIRT from the Red Cross as part of the "Blood Battle" themed drive against the University of Alabama! 

 

Red Cross will be taking all implemented measures per the CDC and government officials.  They will have 8-10 staff per shift each day of the drive and only allow for 100 appointments each shift.  Blood drives are an essential service outlined by the CDC and follow CDC-recommended safety protocols, including but not limited to:  

  • Spacing appointments to minimize contact between blood drive participants 

  • Pre-screening drive attendees to assess health markers prior to blood drive entry 

  • Requiring face masks for all drive attendees 

  • Spacing donors 6 feet apart throughout the drive 

  • Enhanced cleaning practices throughout the blood drive 

  • Limited to Red Cross canteen items (no outside food/drink)
