In collaboration with LifeShare Blood Centers, the University of Louisiana at Monroe Medical Laboratory Science program will sponsor a blood drive from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Aug. 25-28, in the Warhawk circle next to the 不良研究所 Library.

鈥湶涣佳芯克� traditionally offers students the opportunity to give blood on campus during the fall semester,鈥� according to Ashley White, Donor Recruiter for LifeShare Blood Centers. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a long-standing 30-year tradition that has resulted in thousands of blood units for local patients and many, many lives saved.鈥�

According to LifeShare, about 1-in-7 people entering a hospital need blood. One blood donation鈥攁pproximately one pint of blood鈥攃an save up to three lives.

鈥淕iving blood is safe, simple and it saves lives,鈥� said Phillip Thomas, director of LifeShare Blood Center in Monroe. 鈥淚t is an easy way to help someone else that doesn鈥檛 require a lot of time or effort. Donating blood benefits the blood donor too. Each donor receives a total cholesterol screen among other health screenings to help them monitor their personal health and wellness.鈥�

Each donor will receive a t-shirt after donating.
