Valdosta State University host Blazer Blood Drive
Valdosta State University hopes to raise over 140 units of
"Blazer blood" in the third annual Rivalry Blood Drive against West
Georgia, Wednesday, November 2, from Noon to 5 p.m., on the second
floor of University Union, Camellia Room.
The pre-football game event seeks friendly competition between the
rival universities for a good cause, said John Wright, assistant
director of Student Life.
The American Red Cross has set a goal of 116 units for the
five-hour blood drive; however, Wright is hoping to beat the 140
units that West Georgia collected last week.
The winning school will be announced during Saturday's afternoon
football game at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium and will take home the
traveling trophy, currently in VSU's possession.
"This is a great way to build school spirit and participate in a
great cause at the same time," said Wright.
Though the Rivalry Blood Drive will last through 5 p.m., donations
of blood will be collected through 6 p.m. For more information,
contact Wright at 333-5674.
