Do you bleed Carolina Blue?
Prove it at the 27th annual Holiday Blood Drive on Dec. 10 at Fetzer Hall.
With the holiday season right around the corner, it’s time for Carolina’s annual Holiday Blood Drive. This year’s event is from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Dec. 10 at Fetzer Hall.
Over the past 37 years, Carolina students, faculty and staff have helped to save more than 120,000 lives through donations at the University’s summer and winter drives. The event is sponsored by the Employee Forum and the American Red Cross.
How to register
Walk-ups are accepted, but you can beat the crowds by reserving your donation time. There are still times available online at the American Red Cross Blood Services site (enter code UNC) or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Perks
Holiday blood drive donors get a commemorative T-shirt. Food will also be available to donors, courtesy of local Chapel Hill vendors.
For Carolina employees, donating blood or volunteering is considered work time with supervisor approval.
Free parking will be available at the Cobb Deck with a P2P shuttle.
Make sure you’re eligible to donate
As the drive approaches, check to make sure you are eligible to give by entering the date of your last donation into this online calculator, which considers whole blood, power red and platelet donations.
