As of today, there are only 4 days left to donate blood for the 17th annual MSU/PSU Blood Challenge. So you know what that means, Spartans! Check the Red Cross website to sign up for an appointment to donate blood between now and Thursday in order to help MSU win the competition for the 6th time since it has been going on for over a decade.
The winner of the challenge will be announced at the football game between Penn State and MSU on November 27th. The winning university will be the temporary home of a traveling trophy plus have bragging rights for a year over the challenger.
Not only will a donation of blood help MSU win the challenge, but it SAVES LIVES people!! So make a difference in your community and even the world... make an appointment to donate today.
Kelly Weber, donor recruitment representative for the Red Cross said, "It is extremely important for people to donate blood. Three lives are potentially saved with every donation made."
Weber also said that all donations received in the state of Michigan first serve hospitals inside the state, and then the extra supply can be sent elsewhere.
According to the State News, on November 8th MSU was ahead of PSU by about 164 units of blood. Remember to tune into the PSU/MSU game to hear about the outcome of the challenge!
To make an appointment to donate, visit RedCrossBlood.org/make-donation and enter sponsor code "MSU."
