Blood Drives - Student Health Center

American Red Cross - Together, we can save a life.
Got Blood? Donate It!

The need for blood is high. Every minute of every day, someone needs blood. That blood can only come from a volunteer donor, a person like you who makes the choice to donate. There is no substitute for your donation. 

Donors are needed every day. Don’t wait to help save a life.

When you make a blood donation, you join a very select group. Currently only 3 out of every 100 people in America donate blood. 

Hip Hip Hooray! Yesterday's blood drive was a resounding success - collecting 24 pints on short notice. Thank you all who donated or announced to your students about the event. And thank all of you who were instrumental in making this happen. You are the best! Happy Valentine’s Day.
- Sally Bratton, Director, Ohlone College Student Health Center

Spring 2012 American Red Cross Blood Drives

Man donating blood.
  • Monday, February 13, 2012
  • Just added! Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - Due to low donation rates (which means low blood supply!), the America Red Cross has asked us to host a last minute blood drive. If you have blood (and we know you do!), please donate!
  • 10:00am - 3:00pm
  • Palm Bosque, Fremont campus - Look for the American Red Cross bus!

To signup, go online at http://www.redcrossblood.org/ (sponsor code: Ohlone) or call the Student Health Center at (510) 659-6258.

Sponsored by the Student Health Center and ASOC.

Please consider donating. There is a serious shortage of blood available. Try to think about if it were you or your loved one who needed a transfusion and there was no blood available.

You can still donate blood after getting your flu shot!

If you cannot attend an Ohlone College Blood Drive event, please donate blood at your local American Red Cross Blood Center (www.redcrossblood.org).

In order to donate, you must be 17 years of age or older, weigh at least 110 lbs. and be in good health. American Red Cross volunteer blood donors are required to provide identification before donating blood. The preferred identifiers include a government-issued ID or a Red Cross blood donor card.
