Homecoming Blood Drive underway at UW-Madison
MADISON, Wis. — The Homecoming Blood Drive at the University of Wisconsin-Madison kicked off Tuesday and runs through Thursday.
The event is being hosted at the Nick recreation facility on West Dayton Street from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Donors are being encouraged to schedule an appointment in advance, but walk-ins will be accepted as space permits.
Organizers are hoping to collect 450 units of blood, American Red Cross account manager Roxie Berra said.
“Students account for about 20% of the blood supply at any given time, so we’re here on the UW campus to get as many donors as we can (to) come out all three days,” Berra said.
