UC Blood Drive Donations to Touch 2,202 Lives
University of Cincinnati students, faculty and staff rolled up their sleeves the week of Feb. 1 to help save lives in their community with blood donations.
The event was a successful in registering 906 blood donors, of which 207 were first time donors. The week-long event collected 734 lifesaving products which will help to save over 2,202 lives in Tri-State hospitals, said Alecia Lipton, public information officer. The UC Blood Drive came at a critical time as we have been experiencing low donor turn out in recent weeks.
The next All Campus UC Blood Drive is scheduled for Apr. 11 15 in the Great Hall of TUC.
