There is a blood drive going on right now in the Pappajohn Business Building on the University of Iowa’s campus. I have class in a few minutes so I can’t make it, but you should if you can.
I was able to stop by their sign up table and get more information so I can donate in the future. They have a number of drives scheduled for the coming weeks. Here’s the information they gave me:
DeGowin Blood Center
(319)356-2058
C250 GH University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics
www.uihealthcare.org/bloodcenter
Hours of Operation:
- Mon — 7am to 3:30pm
- Tues, Wed, Thurs — 11am to 7:30pm
- Fri — 9am to 5:30pm
If anyone is interested in going to donate with me please let me know.
Finally, here’s a list of what I consider to be the top ten reasons you should donate blood:
- To get free cookies.
- To get free juice.
- To appease our vampire overlords.
- To watch someone pass out.
- To find out what your blood type is.
- To get out of work.
- To get a cool looking bandaid.
- To get an “I Donated” sticker.
- To help people.
- To get free cookies.
