Be a potential lifesaver at the annual Homecoming Blood Drive hosted by the American Red Cross and APO. Whether you are a first-time donor or a frequent donor, blood is always in short supply and each donor has the potential to save three lives. Those unable to give blood may instead
volunteer to help staff the event. Please contact Allanah Jackson (allanah.l.jackson@vanderbilt.edu) or Annie Hill (anna.g.hill@vanderbilt.edu) to do so. For those participating in the Commodore Cup competition, points will be awarded to your organization for each donation. So come donate, represent your organization, and most importantly, give back to your community. Schedule your appointment today at redcrossblood.org and enter the sponsor code vandy19.
