Participate in the life-saving act of donating blood with the Red Cross!  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 at aub.ie/giveblood or by going online to www.RedCrossBlood.org and entering the sponsor code: AUBURN.

Donors will receive a free Chick-fil-A biscuit or Marco's Pizza!

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 50 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)
