Faculty and Staff Encouraged to Participate in June Blood Drive

Donors Will Receive Two Pirate Game Tickets

Did you know that one pint of blood can help up to three hospital patients in need?

Faculty and staff are encouraged to participate in a blood drive on Thursday, June 4, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Africa Room.

Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are encouraged. To schedule a time, visit the Central Blood Bank website, scroll down to the option to search by group code and enter CU090009. Appointments are scheduled every 15 minutes and take approximately one hour.

Blood donors must present a photo ID and are encouraged to eat and drink plenty of fluids prior to donating. In appreciation, Central Blood Bank will send participating donors two tickets to an upcoming Pirates home game.

For more information on the blood drive, contact Heidi Bachner in the Office of Human Resources at 412.396.5104.
