American Red Cross Blood Drive
The holiday season has passed and the year has arrived, but we can still give! You have the opportunity to donate blood with the American Red Cross. This event is hosted by Campus Recreation.
When and Where
- Monday, February 2nd
- 12:30 - 5:30 p.m.
- Recreation Center Gym A
Make your appointment today!
To ensure that you are able to donate blood on February 2, please make an appointment via redcrossblood.org and use the sponsor code: Redhawk. If you are not able to schedule an appointment, you can still donate, but will have to wait because those with appointments receive preference.
What To Expect When You Arrive To Give Blood
On the blood drive day, please report to the Student Recreation Center Gym A. You will need either your donation card or your ID (MSU ID is fine!)
When you arrive, you will be logged in, given some literature to read over, and then asked to wait. Once a nurse from the American Red Cross is free, they will call you over. Your personal information will be used for the purposes of determining whether your blood can be used or not. 


After the preliminary stages, you are ready to give blood. The process takes about 20 minutes. Afterwards, you will be escorted to a recovery table, where there will be snacks and water. When 10 minutes is up, you are free to go about your day...a life saver!
Giving blood really is a simple way to help someone else!
