The Carolina Blood Drive Committee, the Employee Forum and the American Red Cross invite you to join us for the 16th annual Holiday Carolina Blood Drive, 7:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9, in Fetzer Hall. 

Giving blood is easy – it only takes about an hour and saving a life is a great way to get in the holiday spirit. Free parking is available in Cobb Deck off Country Club Road and all presenting donors will receive a free T-shirt from the American Red Cross.

For UNC-Chapel Hill employees, time spent donating is considered work time, with permission from a supervisor.

Please schedule an appointment to donate blood. Just one donation can save three lives, so please join us for this important effort. Your generous donation makes all the difference.

To schedule an appointment, call 1-800-RED CROSS to speak with a Red Cross representative, or schedule an appointment online at redcrossblood.org with the code UNC.

Carolina Blood Drive Coming in June

March 20, 2014 | In Benefits & Work/Life, HR Events

Help those in need of lifesaving transfusions keep on Living the Carolina Way! Once again, UNC is partnering with the American Red Cross to help increase blood supplies on Tuesday, June 3 for the annual Carolina Blood Drive.

This year’s 26th annual Carolina Blood Drive will be held on Tuesday, June 3, from 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. at the Dean E. Smith Center. UNC faculty and staff have been coming out every summer to make this drive a success. Your support helps the Red Cross increase their blood supply during the summer months when donations are typically low. 

Making it even easier to participate, volunteering and/or donating is considered work time with supervisor approval. Also, parking at the Smith Center is free that day. All participating donors will receive a free t-shirt. 

Please help ensure the blood supply doesn’t take a summer break. Spread the word throughout the UNC community to make this the most successful drive yet.

To make your donation appointment or to volunteer, visit the Carolina Blood Drive website.
