On Tuesday, Sept. 24, St. Mary’s Blood Center will be on campus from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Plaza to get blood donations from Colorado Mesa University students, faculty and staff.

The blood donation process will take roughly 30 minutes. Donating 30 minutes of your time can save up to three lives. Along with saving lives, donors will be rewarded with a free Regal Premiere movie ticket.

If you cannot make it to this specific blood drive sponsored by the Graduate Education & Medical Services (GEMS) club, there are plenty of opportunities to give blood at Saint Mary’s Blood Center. Their hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.
