Homecoming 2004: It's Reality | Oct 16-23

Announcements

The need for blood is very real. In January 2004, the American Red Cross began a nationwide effort to replenish the country's depleted blood banks. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tommy G. Thompson state, "the nation is facing critical shortages in communites across the country. If blood supplies do not immediately increase, patients, accident victims and those whose lives depend on regular transfusions are at risk for not getting the blood they need. Every eligible individual should give blood, if not for themselves, for their friends, their loved ones or their neighbors."

The students of the University of Minnesota's Homecoming Committee have partnered with the American Red Cross to host a Blood Drive. You can sign up for an appointment to donate blood, or volunteer your time here. Find out more here...
