University Blood Drive
Spring Blood Drive 2012
March 19th-22th
Monday - Thursday 10am - 5pm
-- Great Hall, Memorial Union--
Iowa State is home to one of the largest student run Blood Drives in the nation. Each Fall and Spring Blood Drive we bring in thousands of student, faculty, and community members which in turn saves hundreds or lives.
Did you know every blood donation has the potential to save three lives!
Iowa State's Blood Drive organizes an annual Fall and Spring Blood Drive here on campus. The drives are held in the Great Hall at the Memorial Union.
Volunteers are a huge aspect in ensuring that every drive runs smoothly. Roughly 800 volunteers are needed the week of the drive! Please visit our volunteer page if you have any more questions or would like to volunteer.

Emily’s Story
Emily was an ordinary high school athlete, competing in another soccer game on July 19, 2008, when her life changed forever. She was slide tackled by the opponent and broke her tibia and fibula in her left leg. She was rushed to the hospital to have an emergency surgery. From that moment on her leg would never be the same. Throughout her journey since July 19th she’s had 4 blood transfusions, 11 surgeries and expects more complications in the future. She could have very well lost her leg and even her life, but someone donated blood at a blood drive and gave her a second chance. She is alive and well today and will be joining Iowa State students in the fall.
It’s stories like these that should remind us how important our donations are.
