University of Cincinnati Bearcats, your community needs you! Hoxworth Blood Center is hosting the UC All-Campus Blood Drive, and organizers are calling on students, faculty, staff, alumni and fans to make an impact by giving blood or platelets.
Join us from Tuesday, Nov. 12 to Friday, Nov. 15 to save lives right here in Cincinnati. As a thank-you, all donors will score a limited-edition Bearcats long-sleeve shirt – perfect for representing your school pride this fall!
Here’s where to find the UC All-Campus Blood Drives:
- Main Campus: TUC Great Hall on Nov. 12, 13 & 14 (10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)
- Bearcat Commons: Hoxworth buses on Nov. 15 (8 a.m. to 3 p.m.)

Donating blood is easy, and the impact saves lives. It takes about 10 minutes to donate, but plan for 1 hour with registration and free snacks after. I love that my donation time counts for service hours, too.

Every donation is crucial, as Hoxworth needs 400 units of blood and 50 units of platelets daily to support the needs of patients at our local hospitals.
Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are encouraged to save you time. Don’t forget to bring a photo ID with your birth date.
Ready to save lives, Bearcats? Schedule your appointment today at www.hoxworth.org/uc , call (513) 451-0910, or download the Hoxworth app. Mark your calendars – let’s make this drive a huge success for our community!
