Last week, our Mizzou community came out in force for the Homecoming Blood Drive. Over four days, 4,148 people gave 4,055 units of blood to support the Red Cross. That donation will potentially save more than 12,165 lives.

Our annual event is one of the largest student-run blood drives in the country. And it’s not over yet! Satellite blood drives in Cole, Boone and Callaway Counties continue through the end of the month.

To schedule an appointment at one of the satellite locations, visit the Homecoming Blood Drive page to find the right sponsor code and then enter it on RedCrossBlood.org.
