UC Blood Drive Helps to Save 2,850-Plus Lives

University of Cincinnati students, faculty and staff rolled up their sleeves the week of Nov. 30 to help save lives in their community with blood donations.

“The event was a huge success registering 1,234 blood donors and collecting 953 lifesaving products which will help to save over 2,850 lives in Tri-State hospitals,” reports Alecia Lipton, public information officer.  “The UC Blood Drive came at a critical time as we need to stock the shelves with blood products prior to the holidays and winter months.”

The next All Campus UC Blood Drive is scheduled for Feb. 1-5 in the Great Hall of 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.
