24th Annual Bison Valentine Victory Blood Drive Scheduled Feb. 10-11

The 24th annual Bison Valentine Victory Blood Drive will be held 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, February 10, and 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, February 11, at the NDSU Memorial Union Plains Room.  The goal for the two-day event is 400 units with several on-campus organizations collaborating to reach the goal. “It is an opportunity for our students, athletes, and members of the NDSU community to help those in need,” said Matt Larsen, NDSU director of athletics. “Demand is high at our local blood banks, so every donation helps tremendously.” Landin Rognlin, president of the NDSU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, encourages everyone to donate. “The odds are very good, that in a lifetime, each of us will know of someone who is desperately in need of blood. What a better gift to give to someone in need than to provide a unit of blood,” he said.The purpose of the blood drive is to involve all athletics staff, student-athletes and coaches from each of North Dakota State’s 16 intercollegiate sports. Each NDSU student-athlete is encouraged to recruit as many volunteers as possible for the blood drive. “In addition to our student-athletes involvement, we are pleased that other student organizations have joined in the effort,” Larsen said.  “Together, the NDSU community has the opportunity to make a significant difference.”Appointments are scheduled every 15 minutes, but walk-ins are welcome. To schedule a time, call United Blood Services at (701) 293-9453 or go to BloodHero.com and use the sponsor code athletics. While NDSU is inclusive in its policies, current federal regulations prevent particular individuals and groups from donating blood at this time.  See the eligibility criteria established by United Blood Services.  Please be aware that some members of our campus population may not be able to donate blood for a wide variety of reasons.For more information, contact NDSU women’s athletic director Lynn Dorn at (701) 231-7807 or e-mail Lynn.Dorn@ndsu.edu.
