Blood Drives

Blood drives at the Newman Center are serious fun. They're serious, because the need for blood is a constant reminder of the fragility of human life, and an opportunity for us to literally give life to people in desperate need. They're fun because we make them fun! Our drives are huge community events with fun themes, lots of amazing food, cool activities for people of all ages, and of course, the opportunity to donate blood to the Red Cross.

OSU-Michigan Blood Battle! Our annual Ohio State vs. Michigan Blood Battle blood drive is on Sunday, Nov. 13 from 8:45 a.m. to 9 p.m. Come support the Buckeyes while saving lives in Central Ohio, and refuel with some of our famous wolverine stew while you're here! If you're interested in giving blood, donating food or beverages, or volunteering, please contact Brian Peebles at tornado40@hotmail.com.
