Blood Drive Set for Oct. 4-6, 2016 at Western

Bloodworks Northwest will be returning to Western Washington University to conduct a blood drive from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday through Thursday, Oct. 4-6, in Viking Union 565.  

Volunteer donors can aid as many as three patients with only one pint of blood, and it takes 800 donors a day to fill the needed supply in the Puget Sound region alone. The success of the campus Quarterly Blood Drive ranks Western as one of the largest donor groups in the Puget Sound region.

Donors must be present ID and be at least 16 years old, 110 pounds. There is no wait after a tattoo if it was acquired in WA, OR, CA, or ID.  New and returning donors are welcome, and all are encouraged to bring friends along as well. Eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of fluids prior to donating. Free juice and cookies are offered following donation. To avoid a line, come on the first day or early in the morning.
