Ithaca College will host its annual summer blood drive on Wednesday, July 16, from 8:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.

This drive is sponsored by Staff Council. Please consider donating.

Every summer, blood supplies run low. Imagine if someone you knew needed blood and there wasn't enough.

The American Red Cross needs to collect 450 donations per day to keep up with area hospital demands. Your pint does matter!

Please call 800-448-3543 to schedule an appointment, or click on the below link to reserve your spot.

Every donation can help three patients within just a few days.

If you are Type O-, O+, A-, or B-, we are also in great need of double-red cell donations. Males who weigh 150 pounds or more and are at least 5'1" can donate double-red cells; females must weight at least 175 pounds or more and be at least 5'5" in height to give a double-red donation.

Thank you in advance for making an appointment. Walk-ins will be taken throughout the day, as able. Please remember to bring ID, drink plenty of fluids, and eat heartily on the day of your donation.
