The American Red Cross, UVA Health’s primary supplier of blood products, is facing a severe blood shortage. As the number of trauma cases, organ transplants, and elective surgeries rise across the country, the nation’s blood supply is being depleted. 

Eligible donors, especially those with Type O blood and platelet donors, are asked to make an appointment to give now and help save patient lives.

When Can I Donate Blood?
Monday, March 28
10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Quayle Learning Center
Battle Building, First Floor

Swag alert:
All donors will receive a $10 Fanatics e-gift card by email for donations March 1-31. Also, donors are automatically entered for a chance to win a trip for two to the 2022 MLB All-Star Game in Los Angeles.

Appointments required. Sign up by emailing giveblood@virginia.edu.

Prepare for your donation: eat well, stay hydrated, and bring your ID.
