All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Be The Match, the national bone marrow registry program, will also be on campus during most of the drive to provide information in the same general area.

“The L&C Vets Club has committed to supporting this important life-saving effort as part of all blood drives we sponsor on campus. It only takes about 15 minutes and a cheek swab to join the national bone marrow registry,” said Veterans Club Advisor Terry Lane.
