All-Campus Blood Drive Will Help Thousands of Lives

Students and faculty at the University of Cincinnati helped to save thousands of lives by donating blood during the Sept. 14-18 All-Campus drive.

The drive collected 1,037 units of lifesaving blood from 1,282 registered donors, including 504 first-time donors.  More than 3,111 lives will be affected by the amount of blood given by UC donors.

“We are grateful to the University of Cincinnati students, faculty and staff that rolled up their sleeves to save a life during the blood drive,” said Alecia Lipton, public information officer. “This blood drive came at a critical time following the summer months, when blood donations are low, but the need is increased.”

The next All-Campus Blood Drive will be held Nov. 30-Dec. 4 on the UC campus in TUC.

From the pitch to personal impact

May 11, 2026

Hoxworth Blood Center, University of Cincinnati, is uniting blood donors around one shared mission — saving lives close to home — through two unique blood drives this May. From the FC Cincinnati Blood Drive at TQL Stadium to an event honoring local blood recipient and cancer survivor John Mattingly, these blood drives offer meaningful ways to give back. Whether inspired by hometown pride or a powerful personal story, blood donors are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and help ensure life-saving blood is available for patients across the Tristate. Patients at local hospitals depend on blood donations every day, and community support is critical to maintaining a strong supply.
