Club Sports Program to Host Second Annual Blood Drive
Join the University Recreation Club Sports program Tuesday, March 12, and Wednesday, March 13, as they host the second annual Club Sports Blood Drive benefiting the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks. The event will take place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in HPER Gym 4. Appointments can be made online at www.cbco.org (search for Fayetteville, AR) or at the UREC front desk (HPER 225). All donors will receive a free “Keep Calm and Roll Up Your Sleeve” T-shirt, as well as food and drink at the event. This year, the Club Sports program is aiming at collecting at least 50 donations per day.
As with Club Sports program-wide community service events (food drive, clothing drive, and blood drive), clubs will be competing to see who can get the most donations. Anyone may donate on behalf of a club. Clubs will earn one point for every donation. Points are worth allocation money for the next fiscal year and the club who brings in the most donations will earn an additional 10 points.
The Community Blood Center of the Ozarks is a non-profit local organization that supplies the needs of over 38 hospitals in 38 counties in the Ozarks region (northwest Arkansas, southwest Missouri, and southeast Kansas). It takes at least 275 blood donations each day to meet the needs of patients in these area hospitals, all of which are supplied by the CBCO.
